Between 1961 and 73, over 3,000 aircraft like this one were shot down or destroyed in southeast asia. 1968, the last year of Rolling Thunder and 652 men piloting these planes lost their lives. From march of 65 to october of 68, air force navy and marine airmen dropped nearly a half million tons of bombs. Rolling thunder was far from a triumph. As youll see and hear, orders straight from the white house forced the men flying these missions to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. And those restrictions inevitably cost american lives.

Investigative agencies. With a raid into was a situation that was really upside down. Normally they would try to find evidence and then find out what is going on and they found nothing. They couldnt find any crimes. So they did file a report saying that we dont have anything on these guys and they had seen most of them as being like dirt farmers.

An interesting interplay of judges and this question. Learned hand was on on the Federal District court at the time. He was in his mid40s.
