Micrososm: I apologize to have used referance
to a statement to a topic on RC in April 2003. Those referances
and topics have been deleted from the Archives. This is
a privately-owned list and the owners have this right.
Marcososm: I do not apologize for offending the
Staff of the National Archives, which if it can be believed from a Senior
Archivist, that Rumsfield..."had truckloads of information removed from
NARA regarding the Vietnam Conflict.". Because i successfully completed
the research for my own claim, which took 29 years and was The Endurance Event
of my Life, the VA has asked me to assist other Veterans. I have been
successful 2 other times in this research. I now have 2 more to research
at NARA.
Those records are of 'Our Country', and do not
belong to a political or private party to shape History to its
own perspective, and remove information important to the health of its
citizens. We have a "Need to Know". You can not rest assured that
the current conflict will bring records back. They will have already been
destroyed, leaving the story to those that were there or those that
write the story. The average 'Joe' will not have the chance to
prove what they say they saw or experienced, and therefore unable to prove their
case.
