Obviously one of the traitors (or useful idiots).
I hope he is rotting in hell.

Why are the media commemorating those people?

This was back when Democrats hated war. Now that they’re in power, we’ve all got targets on our backs.

Who the heck ever thought anyone could keep a *BOMBING CAMPAIGN* secret?

Count me as amongst the people who hate commies but aren’t in favor of bombing neutral countries when Congress hasn’t even voted for a declaration of war.

The American People have a right to know about things like this. Maybe not intimate details such as dates of an invasion, but if we are blasting the hell out of some country somewhere it *SHOULD* be first page news. No matter who is in charge or what the cause is, if American troops and weapons are being used, Congress should have to approve first with the ONLY exception being the initial defense against an attack.

Operation Menu, in March 1969 in response to stepped-up attacks by the North Vietnamese Army and South Vietnamese guerrillas based in Cambodia, a neutral country.

Almost like an EU country of today, allowing munitions and mercenaries, at least, into Ukraine. Putin should start bombing them. Thanks, Nixon.

It was touted by the Leftist-Liberal media as an unwarranted “escalation” of the war, when in fact North Vietnam had escalated the war into Cambodia using Cambodia as a “safe haven” in which to build up and supply its forces for attacks in Vietnam. Nixon merely ended the fiction that the territory of Cambodia was not involved in the war. Cambodia had allowed the North Vietnamese action because they were in no position to stop it.

Let me know when the recon guy who made the bombing maps dies. Then I might feel a loss.

The entire Vietnam misadventure was a ludicrous mistake wasting heroic human life and gobs of money. Almost anything done to bring it to a close was worthwhile.

Flame away if you like but nothing will make LBJ’s and Nixon’s pointless military/industrial meat grinder ever make sense.
