Allow me to expand on Shriver’s Peace Corps. We had something similar in Nam called the Combined Action Platoon (CAP) or the combined Action platoon (CAP).
It was a Marine Corps operation that pacified and protected villagers. The Marines in these operations were armed to the teeth, unlike the Peace Corps people.
Anyway, Marine CACs were attacked and Marines died protecting the villagers.
Imagine these Peace Corps people with no weapons, no air support, no rescue. It was suicide and they never knew it.
Schriver needs to answer for that.
Sorry. Messed up. It was Combined Action Company (CAC) and Combined Action Platoon (CAP).
My mistake.
