When we ran out of Viet Nam in 1975 we left them the third largest Air Force in the world. During the so-called Vietnamazation we had a one for one swap. The South Vietnamese military would bring to us an old tank and we would swap them for a new one. One old M-16 and wham bam thank you ma’am a new rifle.
I was working in country and saw with my own eyes some of the “fair trades”. One enterprising Vietnamese soldier towed in to Long Binh a WWII Japanese roller. You know the ones that go slowly over and over a new road surface. But this one was designed for asphalt and inside the wheels you had to set wood or coal on fire to heat the surface you were going to roll. So as the program dictated he was given a brand new vibrate-packer with heated wheels. Thank you tax payers.
I was in Iraq as a contractor and I saw the bone yards and the one that I loved was at Tadji and I bet some smart Iraqi will be gathering up all that crap and making Uncle Sugar pay a premium for scrap.
We should be trading any military hardware for oil and plenty of it.

Please wait...
