Yes, I copied Sr's Post for posterity sake and later research. I've only really become inerested in all off this since the Net was born and more time on my hands at times.

Up to then it was your typical news bites and local rags to get up to speed with, but this Net thang is awesome for research and getting better every day, or so it seems.

Not to mention the fun bantering at times and actually one on one comms with folks all over.

Long live the NET!

OH! And Infospace..<<GGG>>

Pothead hippies had more to do with giving away Vietnam than people realize, as a former Viet Minh general relates. Did US policy officially lose the Vietnam war? A resounding yes. The military, as weak and desertive as it was (500K soldier, 500K desertions) certainly did not. If the Amerikans had stood shoulder to shoulder the S. Viets would have prevailed. It would still have been a Viet gov't without the 1 million post war deaths.
