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.
Exactly! The “secret” was no secret to the Cambodians. Nor any of the NVM, SVN, Russians...
have to laugh, they always blame this on Nixon...Kennedy was bombing Laos in the early 60’s. ...Nixon just carried on with what Kennedy was doing.
You bomb those counties when your enemies, NVM, Russia, and China, are using it as a launching point for the Vietnam war. They were far from NEUTRAL.
