Well, I guess they give him credit for killing around 3 million people. That was an accomplishment, right?
I was listening to one guy talking about how Henry came up with this great scheme to allow bombers to reach targets deeper in Vietnam by dropping some of their bombs in Cambodia, randomly, to lighten the plane so they could travel further. I wondered if this story was true because why not just load less on the plane to begin with, so the plane started by carrying less weight and could travel deeper into Vietnam?
Why the hell would you load bombs just to drop some of them randomly on people in a country you were not at war with? Seems that could not be the entire story of why they were bombing Cambodia.
