Johnson . . . despicable

Yep. I'm trying to remember the decoration Johnson was awarded for taking a joy ride in the Pacific theater. Silver Star, I think.

I don't know what to think about the Liberty attack. By 1967 the U.S. had become Israel's biggest arms supplier. It just doesn't make sense to me for them to attack one of our ships.

I'm a supporter of Israel, but I have an open mind on this. I just don't get the motive.
