      Every-time I think of that, I picture a host of B52's decimating 80/90% of the NVA as they strolled towards Saigon down Highway One. Their wives who were helping with the Vietnamese at Clark AFB said their husbands were eager to go if only given the order.

    Hi Brock,
    I was "Separated from Active Duty in the US NAVY" 11:35 hrs. @ 32nd St. Naval Sta. in Sandyeggo on 23NOV1970,,,, needless to say, the "War" was still going on..... on 04DEC1972 I got my "Honorable Dicharge" from the US NAVY... the "War" was still going on....
    Reminds me of... "The More things Change the More they Remain the Same!!" Even though "That War" eventually ended.... there were/are still others...

    This 'vote' is so Flimsy Graham can shed the burden of having to decide. He's the Chairman, he could say this is how it will be. But he has repeatedly demonstrated that he doesn't have the sand.

    Of 12 Rs on the committee of twenty-two, I figure at least two of them will vote no. Mike Lee and either Ben Sasse or Marcha Blackburn. It takes at least two Rs to drop below a majority. This house of cards is to protect Flimsy who is up to his eyeballs in the manure.

    Gents, you will be called up to service for your country one more time. This time it truly will be for America.
