Geezus. All these right-wing psychopaths that have been pissed about Nixon leaving office all these years are finally getting what they want. The idiots are coming out of the woodwork. It's Nixon Pt. III, only not as smart.

Haig was an idiot then, and he's an idiot now. As for "military leaders" making all the same mistakes, I call bullshit. The "mistakes" in Vietnam were by and large committed by the civilian leadership in Washington, from the moment we got involved through escalation. Even the pullout was managed so badly by the non-military people one wonders if a Little League coach on loan might not have come up with a better plan.

GAWD!!!!!!!!! I just want to hurl.


OnEdit: This reminds me. I had a bizarre experience on Thursday. This client I was talking to at work noticed my ID badge and squinted while he got a closer look. Seems my last name is the same as someone who was pretty heavily involved in exposing Nixon way-back-when, which I knew, but which I never even think about because it's not relevant to anything in my life. But, this guy noticed. Why? Because he's still pissed about it. "You related to him?" he asked me. I had to think a minute to realize who the hell he was talking about, and when I did, I just said "no." "Good. We can do business then."

WTF? :wtf:
