1966. A Great Year

A1 Sandys cool planes.

This film reminds me of Commanders call we had once a month. USAF

And yet, for all the technology, ordinance, firepower, logistics, reconnaissance, communications, personnel, and money we poured into that war, we weren’t able to destroy the will of the North.

Instead the US let their own will be destroyed by not censoring the news on the war.

To be honest the USA didn't actually _try._ That was a fairly major issue. The reason for entering the war, to counter the "Domino Effect," was only ever an idea believed by some in D.C.. As such, as soon as that cabinet was out of office? The war simply dragged on. There were a number of reasons for that dragging on. Not wanting to be the President to pull out without victory, not wanting to commit a full scale, theatre level response, and they definitely did not want to actually declare war on North Vietnam. Without this official declaration - the number of soldiers in Vietnam was never enough to truly wih. The numbers of ordinance, vehicles, aircraft, etc were never truly enough. Being as the enemy was _both_ North (NVA) AND South (VC)? The soldiers on the ground could nevee truly identify the enemy. The more that this continued, the more Southern Vietnamese joined the VC, the more it would have required a full scale response. In the end the USA _could_ have ended it - with victory. They could have done so fairly easily. They would have had to declare war, activate the entire PACOM, and proceed to commit genocide. With how many people that the brutality pushed into the arms of the NVA and VC ... The USA would have had to exterminate the people of Vietnam, wholesale.

Like the old film

So to whom and where was a film like this one shown? Military Service men? Congressmen? Recruits?

Anybody know when the B-52s started operating out of Utapao in Thailand. I know that there were fighter bases at Ubon, Udorn, Takhli and Na Korn Panom. I spent most of 68 at Camp Vayama near Sattahip with the Army at the 233 TC TS. We operated the munitions port there. The B-52 base at Utapao was 35 to 40 KM southeast of us.
