A reader writes that i owe an apology to the Marine Corps for pointing out that they and our Republican Administration abandoned Marines during the Mayaguez Incident who were then captured and Executed by the Khmer Rouge. That writer then admits he knows NOTHING about the Incident! Wonder if he knows our Republicans then gave $90 Million to Pol Pot to keep on executing 3 million Cambodians and people who visited Cambodia? Go visit the High School in their capital–28,000 people walked in and 8 left alive–our Marines were not any of the 8.

Also wonder if he knows about the “Salt and Pepper” teams in i Corps who consisted of Marines who went over to the NVA, e.. Marine Corporal Garwood. When I arrived in I Corps from The Mekong Delta in order to Invade Laos, the first thing we were told was to shoot the “Salt and pepper” teams if we saw them.

Next time YOU talk to a Marine who claims he served in Vietnam, ask him if he served along side Trump at the Battle of Bok Choi. Amazing how many local guys will say they did so.

Me? Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos–68,69,70,71,72–fought, not served, in 11 of the 16 campaigns of the war–From Da Delta to Da Z.

Bet I know who that reader voted for!
