[ALOHA RONNIE]

GARRY OWEN, Sir

[PhilDragoo]

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.

Thanks for the ping, Ronnie.

I'm probably not the first to suggest this, but if anyone from the studio stops by FR: tell your boss that Ronnie belongs on the pay roll. (^:
