0President Obama lifts arms embargo against Viet Nam
There is no doubt that President Obama is not just acting as a lame duck right now. Besides his drug offender prison sentence commutations, this is one of the most impactful and important policy decisions in America since Nixon normalized relations with China.
Not many Viet Nam vets have weighed in on the subject as of this writing however, we can certainly expect this to be a major topic of conversation in military circles and veteran’s discussions.
Is this a preemptive move on the part of America and Viet Nam? Viet Nam will give the American military increased access to ports, etc., in the light of deteriorating relations with China. Are we going mercenary again soon in SW Asia? Who knows!
