OK, I got the program name wrong. Sarmad, No...You got much more than the program name wrong. I do not know your motivation but you incorrectly attributed South Vietnamese population control actions to American Special Forces. Yes...You are, I believe, partially correct. Some villages were relocated away from combat zones. These were selected by the free South Vietnamese Govt and some were moved with US troop assistance. I have no detailed knowledge of the numbers involved. I seriously doubt it was even close to your (100s) figure. Do you have a source for it? Are you opposed to protecting civilian non-combatants? Yes...You are correct. Areas of known North Vietnamese infiltration routes along unoccupied deep jungle trails were sprayed with defoliants. What is your point? Why are you trying to relate those things to the current conflict? Do you really think we are going to spray an occasional fig tree with agent orange? unclewest
