The conflict (Operation Epic Fury) is now 5 weeks in. With 12,000+ targets hit, a downed F-15 rescue, and asymmetric retaliations, the "mission creep" and arrogance you remember from the 60s feel like theyβre on repeat. ππ #IranConflict #VietnamWar #HistoryRepeating

For Warmth
By #ThichNhatHanh
I hold my face in my two hands.
No, I am not crying.
I hold my face in my two hands
to keep the loneliness warmβ
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me
in anger.

The basic difference between the #VietnamWar and #OperationEpicShitstain in #Iran is that #GrampaPuddingBrain's daddy figured out exactly how to get his #braindead #kid out of the Vietnam War.
Prove me wrong.
We nervously poked around. It was an intelligence treasure chest. We found boxes of papers, but I was feeling increasingly vulnerable. I decided that our job was to put a bookmark here for the big boys and get the hell out. That was what we did. The next day, an infantry company plus engineers flew in and scoured the camp. This was after a debate, I later learned, over whether to run an Arc Light bomb run on the site first or go in on the ground to seek more intel. Intel won the debate, which turned out to be right. Not only did they find helpful materials, they also found an American POW, a black enlisted Marine close to death, in one of the pits on the periphery of the camp. A miracle. The POW, a PFC from 4th Marines, had been missing for weeks. He was in desperate shape, but, according to a note he wrote me three months later, he made it to a VA facility in Pensacola and expected a full recovery. His note thanked us for saving his life and urged us to visit him. I read it to the whole company. It was an emotional moment, especially for Lee Duchamp, our one black colleague. This miracle made our burden lighter. I wrote back congratulating him on his courage and his recovery. Duchamp told me he wrote a separate note. I never did make it to Pensacola, but Iβll bet Duchamp did. That adventure turned out to be my last foray in the Khe Sanh area. Good riddance to that hellhole.
and frankly that's a problem.
I can find no mention anywhere else of a rescued enlisted African American POW in 1967.
Which is very problematic.

This week, I tried to write about my visit to the ruins of Son Tay POW Camp in Vietnam, but I found myself writing about a nation repeating mistakes over 50 years later.

Even armored units - tanks and Apc's - require infantry soldiers to support them in battle. During the #Vietnamwar, a patrol prepares to sweep through an area after a firefight - ahead of armor - to find the elusive enemy. What it was like for a tanker: bit.ly/4bo79nn

Yes! But as Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy would ask, are they the (dumb) directors or the (dumb) reflectors!? The bucks gotta stop somewhere you rugged (completely conformist) individualists

Did Westerners Fight alongside VC/NVA in the #VietnamWar? Many western countries supported North Vietnam during the war and shipped them supplies to fight against the Americans. Providing soldiers would not have been out of the question. What do you think? wp.me/pRiEw-2bx
