I scrolled down through the comments on Jamie Colby's blog and came across this one below, that sent a chill down my spine. It seems the CodePink traitors who sent $600,000 in "humanitarian supplies" to the "other side" in Fallujah just as our Marines were scheduled to go in there to clean it out from bomb-makers launched their practice runs during Vietnam:

I just received this from a WWII friend. It is an account of a Berkeley related incident experienced first hand by a Nam Veteran. Signed, [redacted], Sacramento.

June 30, 1968 while on a daily patrol off of Hill 861 in the I-Corps of South Vietnam we humped up and down mountain sides into a valley that had NVA bunkers on each side that were well fortified, but empty. We were in search of NVA we knew were in our area. As we humped down through a stream bed it felt very ere as we could smell, feel and see the bunkers the NVA used, however they were gone. We came across an opening that had anti aircraft guns and stock piles of weapons and after further searching we found an opening to an underground hospital. It was three levels deep and well supplied. They had generators, movie projectors, cots and medical supplies everything was bagged and well marked. There was needles, medications, dried blood plasma, and many surgical supplies. Each bag was marked “Donated to the North Vietnamese Army from Berkeley California”. [emphasis added]

I always felt this was treason as the though of how many young men died because of actions like this from our own country still makes me sick. It is Treason and as everything from the Vietnam era it is forgotten forgotten, but not by me.

We called into or Command on what we found and July 1, 1968 we went back with C-4 running lite weight as possible with a squad led by Lt. Green. We wrapped that hole in C-4 and lit it up. We knew this would wake up the NVA and we made it back to 861. That afternoon we took mortor fire and rockets into the night. Captain Dwyer decided it was time to go find the bastards and we left a minimal of Marines to guard the 80 mm Mortors and the 105/155 artilery guns. We left 861 at day break and took the same trail back to the site. About half way the NVA had the trail zeroed in and we started hearing the pops of their mortors. They were accurate and we took many wounded and several KIA. By the time we made it back to 861 the NVA were launching a full blown attack on us. We called in dust off and the last I remember is seeing the NVA comming over the wire. I lost some very close friends that day and even took my [first] Purple Heart July 2, 1968....

I plan to copy and paste this and send it to my email list so others will know what traitors reside and are bred in Berkeley. This needs to be sent throughout the Internet.
