Well, having lived the real thing, it's hard for me to stay quiet and listen
to the revisionist BS, too.

Thanks for adding some color to that, I knew that but my email was wrong
in
that respect. I guess I just get so PO'd at the PC/revisionist statements
in articles like that I stop thinking straight.
I do love the comments about "when the BUFF shows up, many times the enemy
will decide they don't want to fight and flee."

Vietnam to beg to sign an agreement, something they were reluctant to do
during the previous 15 years or so of our involvement. Everybody signed,
"we" came home, and coupla years later Congress gave it all away by
refusing to provide any more aid to S Viet. This, in effect, told N.
Viet,
"You may do whatever you want without any interference from US."

Yes, but when the Grey Lady includes factually incorrect statements like
this "Even after millions of tons of bombs were dropped in far corners
of
the world, most foes targeted by the bomber, including those in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Vietnam, ultimately prevailed." Political will (or
rather
a lack there of) allowed the enemy to prevail in one case and survive in
the other cases. Nothing to do with the effectiveness of the bomber.
