We achieved our objectives there then left the locals to fend for themselves. OK, I haven't heard that one before. What were the objectives?

That is, heroin. Shipped back on Air Force transports, in the body cavities of dead G.I.s. An open secret known to many servicemen of that time. Sold particularly in the black ghettos of American cities. 10 hours ago, Steve_S said: I don't see how it was profitable in any general way. In any general way, no. For specific people in and connected to the CIA, very lucrative. Edited October 26, 2016 by WilliamL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
