BBC News – Dien Bien Phu: Did the US offer France an A-bomb?.
I think there definitely needs to be a “Select Committee” formed . . . with all haste and without hesistation . . . to investigate this and get to the bottom of it because The American People deserve to know the truth and besides, we need all the “Select Committees” we can get because select committees provide jobs for investigators. America certainly needs all the jobs She can get too.
you know John no one really cares…they never did…
o.k., just sayin’
John as you can see i am still bitter about the way we were treated…….and 10 years later to soothe a guilty conscience they threw us a parade….it was too late for me and way too little….chuq
I was advised not to wear my uniform when I went into town because there were gangs of thugs just waiting to beat up on us “baby killers.” . . . and this was here in the Continental United States . . . just week end passes . . . just going off base for a little while.
yeah, we were called a lot of things that a parade will not fix……. still feel as if few give a crap to this day….
