Best film in memory. Best film of the war. Per Joe Galloway interview to Proceedings, faithful to his and Gen. Moore's book in the main. With "Black Hawk Down" a long-deserved salute to the bravery of our fighting men.

During that month, November, 1965, LBJ refused the Joint Chiefs' request for permission to bomb Hanoi and mine Haiphong, per the account of the Marine officer present at the meeting, "The Day It Became The Longest War". Lt. Gen. Charles G. Cooper, U.S. Marine Corps (Retired), pp 77-80, Proceedings, May 1996.

The treacherous betrayal by LBJ parallels the ceding of command to the UN in Somalia by traitorrapist42.

Now, as we continue the war on terrorism, we have a Commander-In-Chief who will continue to support our people.

NEVER FORGET

...Historians are now saying that our commitment in men and material to support Freedom for 10 years in a then Free South Vietnam...

...forced the Communist Soviet Union to do the same for Communist North Vietnam to the tune of $$Billions$$.

...Only they couldn't afford it and in the end it help BANKRUPT them as we all saw the Berlin Wall and the Communist Soviet Union come tumbling down.

...It all T'wasn't for nothing after all.

PRAY for the still Communist enslaved people of a now Communist Vietnam.


NEVER FORGET
