Hardly Roger the ROE did not allow this to happen and we paid dearly for it with American lives......you should know better. The truth of the matter is that it wasn't until we did "bomb everything in sight", in Hanoi and Haiphong, that NVN became serious about Paris Peace talks..that took exactly 'eleven' days. "We all should remember the outcome and learn." Yes that is true, we should all remember the 2 million dead/missing in the SVN popualtion after the NVA's "retraining/attitude adjustments/political adjustments were over"...we should remember the 3+ million dead in Cambodia due to the NVA and the Kymer Rouge..........remember Roger?? I can't forget. What we should all remember and learn is that 'if' a war is to be fought it be fought to win and not to solely satisfy some nebulous political goal. Just don't revise history to fit todays supposed facts. Jim Bryant (FL)
