Thorns in the Heart I

         the  militarist  rules  over  people.  They  lot  all  the  support  of  the
         Religions,  Vietnamese  civilians  and  National  parties.  American  and
         South  Vietnam  soldiers were  used  to  be  the  steps  for their  power
         and like the chessman for them playing the bloody and deadly game
         on the Vietnam battle.

             They spend the young men blood without their love and country
         idea but for the power and capitalism of the rich and businesspeople.

             Officials  and  American  Politicians  in  Washington  thought  that
         they  were  needed  more  direct  military  action  on  South  Vietnam.
         Therefore  in  November  1963  until  1973,  American  politicians  had
         deployed nearly half million young American troops of The Army, Air
         Force, Marine Corps, and Navy into South Vietnam with their proud
         of  the  powerful  modern  weapons.  Their  bases  were  in  Philipines,
         Thailand and on Aircraft-Carrier of the 7th Fleet in the Gulf of Tonkin
         (Vinh Bac-Viet).
             April 17, 1964, The American Joint Chiefs of Staffs, General Earle
         Wheeler, General McConnell, General Harold Johnson, and Secretary
         Mcnamara, whom directed the Commander of all U.S forces in the
         Pacific  area.  They  had  approved  a  list  of  94  important  targets  in
         North  Vietnam  to  break  Viet-Cong  concentration  their  troops  and
         supplies to their long arm in the South of National Liberation Front.
         The  hot  spots  for  air  strikes  were  the  Dragon's  jaw  Bridge  and
         railroads in Thanh-Hoa city. The Paul Doumer bridges that cross the
         Red  River  and  connected  Hanoi  Capital  to  Gia-Lam  International
         Airport.  All  the  National  Route  01,  Route  02,  Route  03  in  the
         Northwest of Hanoi were a highlight for the bombing. Also, interdict
         the Haiphong seaport and all the Highway Bridges in the North were
         targets for the American airpower.
             President  U.S.A.  Johnson  made  the  decision  to  attack  North
         Vietnam  in his  limited bombing by  airpower  on  February  13, 1965
         with  the  code  name  "Rolling  Thunder  X..."  to  put  the  pressure  on
         Hanoi that they will be quick to accept the "Peace Talks" offered by
         American  Politicians  and  declared  a  meeting  of  representatives
         without agreement of South Vietnam puppet Military Governments.
