I was a 20yr old Marine Cpl at the time, and don’t recall hearing much about this, if anything at all. Maybe I was simply naive and didn’t pay any attention to what the politicos were saying. Either way, I’m impressed you remember hearing it. I was just too self-absorbed in my own world.

Good post, though. Thanks.

Thanks for reminding us SP5 Mark Kuzinski of the days when secret "peace talks" in Paris which ironically was the capital of the former French Indochina were hopelessly deadlocked.
While North Vietnamese negotiator Le Duc Tho and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger were deadlocked in Paris many NVA and US military forces were engaged in combat in Vietnam. Rice paddies, jungles, and central highlands battle areas where life and death took place side-by-side while paneled offices in Paris were occupied by diplomats who complained if their needs were not met to their liking.
