A quite marvelous introduction to an astonishing example of heroic deeds by mere mortals. Both of which we could certainly use more of. Thank you, Alex (not woke just professional)

First class Alex, particularly your comments at the beginning of the article. I am not surprised in the least by the ahistorical misogyny and racism we see in the DoD decisions to remove women and minorities from the historical perspective. I’m not an academic or historian nevertheless even I realise we need the fullest possible picture of the past in order to better understand what happened and why. I have over 800 books on the Vietnam War, all its iterations, because I wanted to have a better understanding. Great article Alex.
