ORIGINAL: rulemylife Seems you are confusing two different time periods and two different enemies. Were the Vietcong capable of attacking our shores and hitting these highly vulnerable targets? Yes! They were. I am sure that North Vietnameese Mig Pilots would have been more than welcome in sunny Cuba. (Being Comrades and all) They would have been as welcome as the Russian Mig Pilots including the "Russian Advisors" who flew in North Vietnam. Of course the Cubans themselves could have decided to allie themselves with their communist brothers in North Vietnam at any time... It was a tense time in history, decapitating the US oil supply would have made it pretty easy for the russian tanks to roll across europe... However, it doesnt take any communists at all - 19 students with box cutters could have done the trick as we saw in 2001... By the way, FAR more fighter pilots die in peace than in war. Every time you strap on a military jet you are taking your life in your hands. They crash regularly, come apart for no apparent reason, kill people in training etc... Bush's air national guard time was hardly safe... Military pilots die frequently. You're trying to pull an argument out of your ass and you know it. The National Guard during Vietnam was the holy grail for those who didn't want to be in combat. To be be able to get in the Guard at the time was difficult, the Air Gaurd next to impossible. I knew people even in the early '90's who waited years for an Air Guard slot. Yet your hero in the White House was able to waltz into one because daddy and granddaddy pulled political strings. This was actually later admitted by the Lt. Governer of Texas, at the time, that he called in favors to get Jr.approved. I'm not even going to respond to the rest, because I'm getting a cramp in my side from laughing too hard. Yes, I'm sure we were in real danger of Vietnamese MIG attacks from Cuba. Tell me the name of the Vietnamese aircraft carrier that was going to transport them there. I'm sure I know it, it was just on the tip of my tongue a second ago.........................
