To take it even farther off topic - Bob Woodward, Watergate Reporter, was in Naval Intelligence and manned the secret back channels for Nixon and Kissinger, and briefed Haig back in 1969 and 1970. Both Haig and Woodward lied about ever meeting each other prior to 1973.
You know, it’s almost a waste of time to study history with all the embedded BS contained in it. Not reflecting on what you say, but the accuracy of history itself with man involved in writing it. The bible demonstrates this when the Nethinims were given duties by the lazy Levites to record information in books, ie, truth got corrupted.
