“North left out the monkey wrench campaign by Nixon to sabotage the 68 peace talks.”

He also left out every other false leftist narrative.

Haldeman’s notes show that Nixon led efforts to sabotage the peace talks. Not cool, as a unelected dude at the time..

“Haldeman’s notes show that Nixon led efforts to sabotage the peace talks. Not cool, as a unelected dude at the time.”

Ridiculous.

[Theoria]

That's a fact. Combined with the fact that lbj was recording nixon and watching his partisans talking to the rvn.

“That’s a fact. Combined with the fact that lbj was recording nixon and watching his partisans talking to the rvn.”

Made-up fakenews, just like the evilstream misleadia has been creating for decades.

The series features interviews with former South Vietnamese soldiers describing how they were issued a few bullets per month; it was sad. Never mind inability to practice; the ration would be gone in the first 5 minutes of a battle - so they simply pulled back.

Thank you, Col. North. The truth should be told.

“cutting off aid”?

Yes, that was what the Bolen Amendment did. It was also what the Iran/Contra Affair was about. Ollie was involved in that.

It circumvented the funding cut off for a time.

[Texas Fossil]

Good. He “recognition” for what she did is long overdue. I’ll be watching for it.

[Texas Fossil]

Nor do I. Not even PBS. It is all out of the same shaker.

There was a time in the 1970’s when there was a group in AZ that ran a public broadcasting station that I did watch. Long long ago in another time.

It’s sad, but I’ve come to accept that the real story of the heroic American GIs in Vietnam may never be told.

Sad, but true. The GIs were the real heroes in all of this; unfortunately, they got the brunt of the criticism for the War itself, which was a fiasco from the beginning, being run by a bunch of imbeciles in Washington, particularly C-in-Chief Johnson and his administration.

[Texas Fossil]

As a young man, I learned to despise the Left as a consequence of this. I had a number of friends who’s names are on the wall. You don’t forget those things. It is a deeply emotional place.

[onedoug]

This nation doesn’t win wars anymore.

[Texas Fossil]

That is because of the un-elected entrenched bureaucracy in DC.

[onedoug]

Congress is elected. Congress declares war. Congress and The President are responsible for its outcome.

[Texas Fossil]

All is true, except the responsible element. It is often ignored.

[Lysandru]

telling the Portland Press Herald he doubted “Kissinger’s authority to adequately convey the perspectives of the U.S. government.”

You have got to be f**king kidding me.

What a left-wing wanker.

[Texas Fossil]

Yep.
