I agree such travel would be enlightening, however doing it after the fall of the Curtain when the Soviet Union was no longer supporting the Viet Cong militarily would have been more prudent. Think how some of the senior military officers must feel about having a boss who did this while they were being shot at with Russian ammo.

If that sounds unforgiving, I went to Israel not long after the Gulf War and was thoroughly interrogated for having a Syrian visa in my passport even though Syria fielded troops with the allies against Saddam.

>>I'd think a visit behind the iron curtain might have been an enlightening experience for any student for good or ill - just as a visit to Cuba today would be for Americans - and it is now possible.<<

Either intentionally or unintentionally, you're missing my point.

Why did the Russians give him a visa? Did they want him to go to Moscow for training?
