I saw "We Were Soldiers" with Hank and Erika Holzer, coauthors of AID AND COMFORT: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam.

Hank was Army intelligence in Korea, and their book is a treason indictment; the thesis being, that a treason charge could have been lodged, prosecuted to conviction and upheld on appeal.

Joe Galloway, coauthor of the book We Were Soldiers Once and Young with General Hal Moore, did an excellent interview with Proceedings (February 2002, pp 50-52), and his photo with a Swedish K submachine gun, and the clarification that he carried a personal M-16 belies the Hollywoodization of the film showing a disgust on his part for the movie prop.

Saturday January 18 0900 will see a Washington, DC, rally of vets defending memorials from leftist chancres, details at today's Canteen.

The mention of NVA using the DMZ as "haven" harks back to LBJ spurning the advice of the Joint Chiefs November 1965 (the time of the battle for the Ia Drang valley) to bomb Hanoi and mine Haiphong.

On behalf of Army veteran Ted Maher and his friends at Free Republic, God Bless our troops and veterans and their families.

God Speed swift victory in Operation Rock Saddam's World.
