#1 Memories - Cambodia 1969.
Everybody knew the NVA and VC relied on sanctuaries and supply lines across the border. And that the Prince was only reluctantly cooperating. So we ended up with Lon Nol, a more enthusiastic anticommunist, who let us go after the VC and NVA as wished. But we werent willing to occupy Cambodia indefinitely - not when we were trying to gradually withdraw from VN. So we ultimately lost Cambodia as well as VN.

WE can't push Perv to do to much, not until we're able and ready to take on Pakland. A much more daunting prospect than running Iraq, by far.
