You are are one of a very, very, very, very, very, very, small percentage of Americans who know which President led us into the Southeast Asian War.

And even fewer know that it was Eisenhower's Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, who led the charge. His missionary roots led him to support the "Christian" south against the secular north.

Nope, no surprise here. Say didja know that the 1972 NVA offensive was defeated too?? <:-)
I asked my friend what he knew about Ben Het and it wasn't much. Instead I got an earful on Lang Vei. Seems he met the survivors at the wire when they made it in. Interesting stories to say the least.
