The sixties saw us (read large--the Brits did their share of countering communist moves during this period, IIRC, especially in Malaya) face insurgencies around the world; US "advisors" were apparently involved in helping combat this threat in a fair number of spots outside Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos. ISTR US special forces (and CIA) assets (to include B-26K COIN aircraft) were active in Africa, Yuo mean the CIA's support for the unsuccessful insurgency in Angola? Surely that went on into the 80's? B-26's were supposedly flown in operations in the Congo, in the 1960's. B-26's were used in Angola but I believe the missions where all flown by members of the FAP. |

Offering facts like that will only confuse him further. Brooks |
