  SOME of you folks up there are so far over the edge that you can make anti-US propaganda in your sleep, hands tied behind your back, and your mouth stuffed with rags. This melodramatic piece of predictable drivel was so inaccurate in the first few minutes that I admit I couldn't get through the rest of it. One very basic point: there was never any secrecy about Canadians in the US Army and other branches in Vietnam. The Marines tended to let them hang together if they wanted. On a few of the hilltops around Khe Sanh, before all the Marine outposts were driven back inside the base itself and the siege beagn in earnest, you could see Canadian flags flying. Secret presence? And I'll tell you, we used to give them the normal ration of #### between Canadians and Americans, but they knew we were proud to know them. We knew most of them were volunteers, and we weren't. And the "hero" of the piece--has he provided any documentary evidence of his having been there himself as a "spook'? There are dozens and dozens in the US just like him, who never even set foot in-country, much less in combat. For sad needs of their own, they make a well-researched effort at being what they never were; it's called "the stolen valor" (or plain old "wannabe") syndrome. Credulous journalists and film-makers with a gotcha bent are fodder to them; or maybe that's vice-versa. His opening monologue has exactly the same "I'm sinister and jaded as hell, I've seen things the likes of you will never see, of course I can't show you any proof because it's still top secret, it's worth my life to show my face..." Let's just take that last bit. Whatever he alleges himself to have been part of, it would've been a small and elite force. Within that small force, there would've been very few Canadians among the small number of Americans. How hard would it be for the US authorities to figure out who he is, if they were interested? They're not, becuse he's Nobody. Wake up, neighbors, and do something useful with your lives for your country and your families. Kicking the US is a ridiculous pastime.
