            To
let you know exactly how I reacted to Colonel Weafer's letter of 3 August 2007, I will now

Colonel Weafer,

            Reference is made to your 3
August 2007
letter to the undersigned which was written in response to my 16
June 2007
letter to MG Caldwell and my follow up letter to him dated 1
August 2007.  When I wrote to General Caldwell I assumed what I wrote
was important enough to the military establishment and to this nation's
military personnel to elicit a response General Caldwell himself.

            That said, I must quite accurately state that your letter
did not, in any way, manner, shape or form, respond to the critically important
content of my letter of 16 June 2007. It is a FACT that
General William C. Westmoreland, as I quote him in my book the Victory
Edition - Expendable Elite - One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare (General
Caldwell received his signed copy on 18 June 2007), actually admitted having
had first hand knowledge of the enemy sanctuaries (safe havens) and secret
bases that our government had provided the Viet Cong (as contained in his book A
Soldier Reports of which your Center has 21 copies in their library).
In addition General Westmoreland admitted to having had knowledge of our
government's allowing the enemy to use the Mekong River as their major logistical
supply route. As you will note in my book, the Mekong was in fact used to
transport shiploads of weapons and ammunition to their forces inside the safe
havens .  Most importantly General
Westmoreland writes that he was ordered not to tell the CONGRESS or the PRESS
about our aiding of the enemy. 
Some good questions to ask yourself (you and General Caldwell) and to
ask students in each class  (after they
has read the books noted) would and should be:

            1.             Why was General Westmoreland so
intimidated that, instead of resigning and telling the press and the Congress
the truth about the enemy safe havens, secret bases and use of the Mekong
River, he himself aided the enemy by his silence as he played tennis in his
protected base almost every day?

                2.             Who was it that gave him an order
to aid the enemy and how could that be a lawful order?

                3.             If you had been in General
Westmoreland's shoes - what would you have done?

                4.             Was it legal for the CIA to order
an ARVN Regiment to attack my camp in An Phu?

                5.             Was I and my team (A-424) members
right in standing firm against the order to abandon the

                                Buddhist
Hoa Haos and possibly get killed on the way to the B-Team in Chau Phu??

               

                6.             Should laws be passed to deny the
enemy any aid and to prohibit the killing or wounding of our military personnel
for any reason whatsoever, other than as specified during wartime in the Manual
for Courts-Martial United States (AKA: the UCMJ)?

 

            Colonel, how can you, in fact HOW DARE YIOU, state
without reservation, "Although we make use of a history course within the
curriculum to help inform the judgment of our students, it is rather broad in
scope - and generally does not get to the level of detail necessary to include
discussion of operations such as the one described in your book."  Weren't 58,000 of our soldiers killed in
action in Vietnam?  Wasn't General William C. Westmoreland
commander of all allied troops in Vietnam?  Wasn't his being forced to keep secret our
government's aiding of the enemy, in and of itself, responsible for more than
half of those KIAs something of possible importance with which to acquaint your
students?

            Will you please tell me, straight for the shoulder, did
you or your General Caldwell read A Soldier Reports, (pages 218, 219,
220, 222, 223), and read where General Westmoreland writes, as I quote in Expendable
Elite (pages 79, 83, 310), that he was aware of the enemy safe-havens,
aware of the enemy secret bases inside Cambodia and was ordered not to tell the press or the Congress and
yet neither you nor General Caldwell felt it necessary to do anything about it,
and in particular, to not include the impact of these illegal acts and the
potential for their being repeated, in your curriculum. Is that a fact? 

            Is it even of infinitesimal interest to the General and
you that the CIA attempted to use me and my Buddhist Hoa Hao warriors to
assassinate Cambodian Crown Prince Sihanouk? 
And, Just as important  perhaps, is
the fact that the CIA sent an ARVN Regiment to attack our camp in retribution
for my unilaterally aborting the assassination plot, a fact which we
proved in Federal Court last year of significance to your
"instruction"? In fact the truth of our government's aiding
the enemy in Vietnam was proven in the Charleston, SC United States Federal
District Court on 30 January 2006 when the unanimous verdict of the jury
cleared myself and publisher Kris Millegan of TrineDay Press in a $700,000
lawsuit engineered  by the Special Forces
Association in what I am certain in my 
mind was a vain attempt
to have my book Expendable Elite - One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare
declared to be "100% lies" and to bankrupt my publisher and
myself.  I provided you with many other
details about the TRUTH that moved the jury to vote unanimously in our favor.
You can readily understand the juror's rationale if you had only read the 100
added trial-related pages contained in my Victory Edition that General
Caldwell received on 18 June 2007 and that was accepted
from me as a gift to your Combined Arms Research Library on 28
September 2006.

            I wonder if you or General Caldwell or any of the other
staff  at the C&GSC or the Combined
Arms Center have children or grandchildren on active duty, specifically in Iraq
or Afghanistan, and I wonder (as I do with my two grandsons - one with the 82^nd
Airborne Division and the other with the US Air Force) if you or they, after
reading this letter and the two books referenced, would just sit idle and have
no concern about our government's aiding of the enemy in this war and at this
time? This fact was proven to me during personal conversations with Army and
Marine Corps personnel who had returned from those areas. Think about it
Colonel.

            We (my publisher and I) would, by the way, be pleased to
appear before a joint session of Congress or in the House or Senate separately
and testify such as we did in Federal Court about the truths of my book.  We would, however, need to be reimbursed for
expenses related thereto as we are near bankruptcy due to legal costs incurred
in our (TrineDay Press and me) victory in Federal Court which exceeded
$152,000.00.

            I will send a copy of this letter, your letter dated 3
August 2007 and my letter to General Caldwell dated 1 August 2007 to the
following persons or activities hoping and praying that those who receive this
will read and take immediate action to demand answers to each and every area of
interest that I raised in my communications with the US Army Combined Arms

==========================================================

Galations 4:16   Am I therefore
become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

===============================================

            I will be following through with
the other commanders to demand that their attention be focused on the need to
protect our service personnel and I will copy to the same persons noted in my
letter to Colonel Weafer and ask them to support efforts to get Congress and the media to force
our government and its military hierarchy to cease and desist from aiding and
abetting the enemy.. IT IS TIME WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

 

MUSTANG REPORT # 14 - Part III will focus on the continuing battle to demand
an end to aiding the enemy in any way, manner, shape or form.  We must be loyal to those men and women who
make it possible for us to continue to enjoy the freedoms our Constitution
gives us.
