MUSTANG REPORT # 14 Part I
AIDING THE ENEMY - THEN AND NOW
Part I: Vietnam, General Westmoreland, and the White House
By LTC Daniel Marvin, U.S. Army (Retired)
Author of Victory Edition - EXPENDABLE ELITE - One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare
It was to be a time of solemn remembrance that summer afternoon in 1988 when I stepped through the doors of the Special Warfare Museum on Smoke Bomb Hill at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I wanted to revisit my past, to reflect on that time when I was a part of a very special organization that would and could tackle any mission, anytime, anywhere, even against overwhelming odds and get the job done. Our motto was "The impossible just takes a little longer.”
I was enjoying the many and varied exhibits in that small, but awesome collection of unconventional warfare memorabilia until I was stopped in my tracks by an exhibit designed to honor General William C. Westmoreland. I understand fully that one should not despise another, but I own up to despising that military man who, by his own inaction and lack of integrity and courage before the U.S. Congress and his military superiors, aided and abetted the enemy in the Vietnam conflict, the same enemy that had killed my four best friends.
My best friend Jerry, his name now engraved on THE WALL - Master Sergeant Gerard V. Parmentier - was killed in action his fifth time in combat in Southeast Asia (Laos & Vietnam). Jerry, a fellow Green Beret and a number of South Vietnamese irregulars, were mortally wounded in battle by Viet Cong insurgents on 17 August 1967 near Dak To, South Vietnam. They were the unsuspecting victims of a power struggle between General Westmoreland and the Special Forces Group commander.
His son Albert, also a Green Beret, was serving in a neighboring Special Forces camp when he got word that his father had been killed in action. After learning details of the battle and its aftermath from his father’s commanding officer, Albert accompanied his dad's body back to the United States where he was interred with military honors at Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego. I was there.
After the funeral I spoke with Albert and he confirmed what I’d suspected, having learned from his father’s A-team commanding officer that Jerry’s unit had suffered heavy casualties, with most due to faulty or withheld intelligence. The enemy force that killed Jerry was many times the strength that had been gleaned from available intelligence. In and of itself, that fact was not uncommon in war, particularly in a counter-insurgency situation. What was unusual and unforgivable in my judgment, was the fact that the enemy order of battle was known but withheld from the Special Forces. Those facts were told Albert by his father's A Team leader before he left Vietnam, escorting his father’s body to the U.S.
Though it was important first hand testimony for the book I was writing about Special Forces in South Vietnam, it was decided to delay recording Albert's recollections until his mother was dead. We felt it would hurt too much for her to know the truth. When Mama Rose died and was buried in Providence, Rhode Island, I approached Albert to document what he knew of his father's death. It would be used to help demand an investigation into withheld intelligence. Unknown to me until that very day, Albert had retired from the service and was now working for the “company” (CIA). Needless to say, he was forbidden from disclosing any knowledge relating to the CIA. No sense arguing, the cards had been stacked to make certain the truth would not be known.
In 1983, Presidio Press published LTC Charles M. Simpson’s book, Inside the Green Berets, which included the account of how LTC Dick Ruble, a member of Westmoreland’s Intelligence staff, had, without the knowledge of the Special Forces Group CO, denied their access to intelligence (“code word”) documents until such a time that Special Forces would permit non-airborne Military Assistance Command personnel, disguised as Green Berets, access to Special Forces Camps. The Special Forces Group had been excluded purposely from their distribution list, including access to intelligence gathered by CIA resources and critical to success against an entrenched enemy.
My book, Expendable Elite – One Soldier’s Journey Into Covert Warfare, contains much detail, including direct quotes that told of General Westmoreland’s refusal to demand an end to the enemy’s safe-havens in Cambodia and his lack of courage when given the opportunity to go before Congress and tell them that American and Allied forces and innocent civilians were being killed and maimed by the enemy operating out of the “sanctuaries” that President Johnson had provided against the wishes of then Premier Nguyen Cao Ky. General Westmoreland admits to these failures in his book A Soldier Reports.
Another fact of life in South Vietnam at the time I served as a Green Beret in An Phu District and Chau Doc Province was the almost total absence of routine resupply of Special Forces units in the IV Tactical Corps Zone by General Westmoreland’s huge Saigon depot. When I was B team logistics officer, responsible to resupply all Special Forces A Team Camps under the wing of B-42 in late 1966. Shortages of critical items and the total lack of logistical support by the Saigon depot forced me to "borrow" a Landing Craft Utility (LCU) from the U.S. Navy, and take it down river on the Bassac and then over to the Mekong River to the Saigon Depot. Once there we “borrowed” some of their trucks, drove past fearful guards and picked what we desperately needed from shelves, bins and pallet storage, loaded it on the trucks and then off-loaded unto the LCU tied up at the depot docking site. From there we re-traced our way back to Chau Doc, unloaded the supplies and equipment and returned the LCU to where it had been tied up.
Within a year of my return to the US, while attending the US Army Career Course at Fort Lee, Virginia, Colonel Pieklik, who had commanded the Saigon Depot when I was forced to steal what we needed, stood in front of our class at the end of his presentation and asked if there were any questions. As class president I fielded the first question. "Why did your depot refuse to supply the needs of Special Forces units in the 4th Tactical Zone in 1966?" I was impressed with the fact that he answered unequivocally, telling our class that the reason his depot was not supplying our needs in the IV Tactical Zone (the entire delta area) was because General Westmoreland had ordered him not to. He was told not to supply our needs until such a time as Lieutenant General Quang Van Dang (CG of the IV Tactical Zone) would allow conventional American forces to be moved into the delta area. Our mission and our safety was given a back seat to his desire to put forces where they were not needed. The IV Tactical Zone was the most secure of the four zones in Vietnam. More detail is to be found in the Victory Edition of Expendable Elite - One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare.
Part II: "The present and the future Aiding of the Enemy" will be forthcoming and will include specifics regarding my thus far vain attempts to have the truth of our government's aiding the enemy from then until now incorporated in instruction to officers in the Army War College, Command & General Staff College, West Point, and the Special Operations Command. My 15 June 2007 letters to MG David H. Hutton, Jr. (War College Commandant), General Bryan Brown (CG of the US Special Operations Command) and LTG Franklin L. Hagenbeck (West Point Superintendent), together with my 16 June 2007 letter to MG William B. Caldwell IV (CG US Army Combined Arms Center), none of which have been responded to as of this writing, will be detailed along with my efforts to get Congress and the media to force our government and its military hierarchy to cease and desist from aiding and abetting the enemy. Each of the aforementioned will be provided a copy of Mustang Report # 14 - Part I with a request for comment to be posted in Part II. I lost my four best friends in Vietnam as KIA in a war they were not permitted to win, while at the same time we were aiding the enemy who killed them and 58,000 others plus countless South Vietnamese. IT IS TIME WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
[Editor/RP: I will be publishing Part II next week. Please join Colonel Marvin in writing to your US senators and representatives regarding this matter. How can we expect change, if we the people refuse to do anything?]

Filmmaker and Patriot Loses Battle with Cancer
Filmmaker and patriot, Aaron Russo, passed away today after a lengthy battle with cancer. In the last few of years, Russo had become well known for his outspoken views on limited government, and most recently for directing and producing the documentary America: Freedom to Fascism.
Many people have learned, and continue to learn, about the gross corruption of the American government as a result of watching Freedom to Fascism. The film resulted in not only helping Americans to "wake up", but it also gained Russo the recognition of freedom loving Americans.
Russo is admired by not just his fellow Libertarians, but also by Constitutionalists, Independents, and those of us who consider ourselves Jeffersonians. Even a few Republicans think highly of him.
Earlier this year, Russo established an organization called Restore The Republic, and announced he was backing Ron Paul in his bid for the White House in 2008. Shortly after getting his organization off the ground, he was forced into stepping aside due to the reemergence of cancer.
Today that battle ended.
While you may not have agreed with him on everything, or how he did things, one cannot help but admire him, and for the stand he took. He will be greatly missed, and may his memory inspire many more Americans to take up the cause of Liberty in America once more.

As I've noted before, many police departments increasingly operate under the "we'll find a reason" standard – meaning that when given an opportunity officers will contrive some excuse to cite or arrest individuals who have committed no immediately recognizable offense.

Fiat War with China
The Chinese-American Currency Wars of 2007-2010
By Samantha Buker
Congress wants a stricter definition of currency manipulation. Then, it wants to be able to "punish" the manipulator with anti-dumping tariffs until it changes its tune. That’s the goal of the Fair Currency Act of 2007. But this currency war is another war we’re unlikely to win.

Why the IMF Won’t Make Our Day
by Samantha Buker
The IMF’s role is essentially null. It hopes to “shame” any currency-manipulating nation into changing its practices. Shame? That’s right. Despite a recent review of IMF procedure for monitoring monetary policies, it neglected to adopt new methods of enforcing its rulings.

We can return to first principles
A message from Dr. Ron Paul, US Representative from Texas and 2008 presidential candidate -
Not all the media are biased. A local newspaper in New Hampshire reported on an annual GOP bbq in the town of Hollis. It could be called "the Ron Paul show," they said, since the far bigger crowd that usual consisted mostly of our supporters. One volunteer even rented an airplane and flew a wonderful sign around the sky. What great, creative, self-starting people I'm meeting, at every stop, all of them united by a love of America and American freedom.
Politics is usually about division. But this campaign is just the opposite. Not only are our volunteers a bunch of happy warriors, but they also practice the virtues of tolerance and peace, just as they want the nation to do.
The other day, the state chairman of an opposing campaign (not in New Hampshire!), angrily tore a sign out of one of our supporter's hands and trashed it. Different people with different beliefs might have responded differently. But our people, though they'd been standing in the rain all day, applied the Golden Rule. It's because of quiet heroes that I know we can change this country.
A reporter in New Hampshire told me this story about Florida: she had seen the same three supporters working every day passing out our literature, and so decided to interview them. She was startled to discover that one was a Republican, one was a Democrat, and one was an Independent. But I wasn't.
Freedom brings us all together. We can all agree on leaving people alone to plan and live their own lives, rather than trying to force them to obey at the point of a gun, as runaway government does. Instead of clawing at each other via the warfare-welfare state, people under liberty can cooperate in a unity of diversity.
There is no need to use government to threaten others who have different standards, or to be threatened by them. Looking to our Founders, our traditions, and the Constitution, we can build, in peaceful cooperation, a free and prosperous society.
At a talk show in Nashua, New Hampshire, the host asked me about the fair tax. Well, I agree on getting rid of the IRS, I told her, but I want to replace it with nothing, not another tax. But let's not forget the inflation tax, I said.
This was something she had never considered, but after I talked about the depreciation of our dollar by the Federal Reserve, its creation of artificial booms and busts, and its bailouts of the big banks and Wall Street firms, to the detriment of the average person, she loved it. That is another tax, she agreed, a hidden and particularly vicious tax.
They try to tell us that the money issue is boring or irrelevant. In fact, it is the very pith of our social lives, and morally, Constitutionally, and economically, the central bank is a disaster. Thanks to the work of this movement, Americans are starting to understand what has been hidden from them for so long: that we have a right to sound and honest money, not to a dollar debauched for the special interests.
Unconstitutional government has created a war crisis, a financial crisis, a dollar crisis, and a freedom crisis. But we don't have to take it. We don't have to passively accept more dead soldiers, a lower standard of living, rising prices, a national ID, eavesdropping on our emails and phone calls, and all the rest.
We can return to first principles, and build the brightest, most brilliant future any people on earth has ever aspired to. Help me teach this lesson. Help me campaign all over this country, in cooperation with our huge and growing volunteer army. Help me show that change is not only possible, but also essential. Please, make your most generous contribution to this campaign for a Constitutional presidency worthy of our people. Invest in freedom: for yourself, for your family, for your future.
Sincerely,
Ron Paul

Everything from making thinly veiled threats to bomber missions into US airspace has taken place this summer. If those things are not curious enough (and things get curiouser and curiouser from here), some recent articles from The New American and the John Birch Society suggest that Russia is behind the various world terrorist groups, and is even bankrolling groups like Al-Qaeda.
It is well-documented and reported that Russia has funded Iran in their efforts to go fully nuclear. Yet, instead of demanding that Russia stop their activities, The Great Decider decides that Iran must decide to play nice, nice.
While the average Russian isn't much better off (I said not much) now than he was under the Hammer & Sickle, the Russian government and military are at heights of money and might that have not been known since the 1970s. Anyone who was ever foolish enough to think the Russian threat went away when the Iron Curtain fell needs to take a second look at that Bear that is pushing knobs and turning buttons behind the Curtain. That terrorist marionette doll has Russian strings attached.

Behind Islamic Terror
By William F. Jasper
Lt. Col. Litvinenko’s murder was obviously intended to silence him as well as to set an example that would dissuade others from defecting. Regarding the former, Litvinenko was bringing out many disturbing charges and facts showing that Putin’s KGB/FSB is continuing to sponsor the global terror network launched by the Soviet KGB in the 1960s and nurtured by them through the 1980s. That includes current sponsorship and direction of al-Qaeda and its two top leaders, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The Real Terror Paymasters
By William F. Jasper
Viktor Bout was for years the main arms supplier for the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He subsequently became a major supplier to the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance. While operating a dizzying array of companies and shell companies out of Belgium and the United Arab Emirates, Bout has always maintained a home base and safe haven in Russia.

Voices from the past
The following links and excerpts are to some excellent articles regarding the War Between The States. People often fail to realize that history books do not tell you the whole story, and most of the history books, particularly the textbooks, are always written by the victors in any conflict, and the defeated rarely has the opportunity to tell their side.

Salutes to Gen. Pat
Some in the South hold the city’s namesake in high regard
By Monica Green/Features Editor CLEBURNE TIMES-REVIEW
Cleburne led and fought in many significant battles, such as ones in the Kentucky Campaign and Murfreesboro. Although he received a severe wound in the Battle of Richmond Kentucky on Aug. 30, 1862, he continued to lead his division. After several successful battles, Cleburne was again promoted. At the beginning of 1863, he became major general. His "brilliant tactical command in the use of his small force," and his strategic use of terrain remain among the most compelling in military history to study, according to the Patrick Cleburne Society.

Sherris goes so far as to write, with astonishing inaccuracy, that Sherman "did not level any town; he did not massacre civilians," and he compares the courageous Confederate resisters to disobedient children being disciplined by their parents. Sherman "wasn't the monster Southern stories make him out be," Sherris writes.
For starters, let us observe that he largely burned our own city of Atlanta, full of defenseless civilians, which would seem to constitute "leveling" a town. And even strict parents don't usually murder their children.

Public Education
May be dangerous to your mental well-being.
Currently, I am reading RC Murray's new book, Legally STUPiD. I have never had the misfortune of attending a public school. I have no idea what it is really like. I know what I have been told, and what I have read about, but I have no personal knowledge of what the system is like. From kindergarten all the way through some post graduate classes, I have always attended Christian and private schools.
Mr. Murray's book is giving me a first hand knowledge of what the government-run education system is like, and what is really going on. This knowledge I am gaining is that of which I could only get if I were inside the system. Fortunately (sort of), Mr. Murray has been there, and it is worse than what I thought.
The following links are two articles, both of which paint a horrible picture of the public school system. The first deals with the effects public education has upon a person and a society. The second article deals with the fact that many public schools have become pagan indoctrination centers.

Ron Paul Updates 08/19/07
This weekend was very good for Ron Paul and his supporters. Dr. Paul won straw polls in Alabama & New Hampshire, and finished 3rd in Illinois. As support for Dr. Paul grows, the media continues to ignore him and his potential. Apparently the mantra of the media and politicians is "If we ignore him, he will fade away". However, since no one trusts the media, I think the fact that the media is ignoring Dr. Paul is a good thing.
