[ALOHA RONNIE]

You are most welcome.

NEVER FORGET that if we returning Vietnam Vets had had the Internet to fight the Big Boy Anti-U.S. TV News people like WALTER CRONKITE with during the Vietnam War...

the people there would still be FREE today.

ALOHA RONNIE is most correct, in 'Nam that was the call sign to broadcast in the clear that an American unit was about to be overrun and thus triggering a priority response from every American aircraft within range of the target.

However, "Broken Arrow" has also a more recent meaning. It is the code phrase which means a nuclear weapon has been lost. This was first brought out in that sorry movie with John REVOLTA of the same name. Turns out, there was a grain or more of truth in the title. There are several such "Broken Arrows" that are public knowledge scattered around the globe. God knows how many have been lost and the info is classified.

Thank you.

And the vets/heroes would have received all the honors, awe and respect due them right from the get-go. *Sigh*
