I don't really see where the Vietnamese and the Somalies 'whipped
our
arses'. What I remember happening is the US Government WIMPED OUT
before
we won. Neither situation was worth a damn. But don't blame the
soldiers
for the actions of NIXON, KISSENGER and CLINTON.

Dan, as I recall, Nixon didn't open up Vietnam, and Clinton didn't
open up Somalia. I don't think Kissinger had much to do with either.
But he did figure out how to get OPEC organized, have an oil embargo,
then jack up the price of oil so they could buy US armaments.

Of course they didn't OPEN UP VN or Somalia. I was refering to who
ENDED it
and HOW. As for Kissinger he was a MAJOR part of how we wimped out to
the
North Vietnamese, allowed them to keep troops in the South while we
turned
tail and let the South Vietnamese swing at the end of the rope we tied.

Were you there?

No arguement of Mr. K. and his deals later on.

Dan/W4NTI

Well, it was 1973 and with the withdrawal from VN, we had to start
selling arms to someone.

If the question is "was I in VN" the answer is yes.
