...comment that people "who aren't quite as capable are better able to endure the boredom of military life" is an ignorant affront to U.S. armed forces.

...Quest of Power. What the Buddhists say they want is a constitution, an elected civilian government and a National Assembly. Ky has told them they can have all three-in good time. The extremist Buddhists led by Hué's Thich Tri Quang are unwilling to wait, even though ousting the generals now would cut off the Buddhists' best chance of getting a constitution.

Small wonder that the fear of sexual attack raced through the city like a plague. Nazi propaganda had long painted Soviet troops as slant-eyed Mongols who butchered women and children on sight, raped nuns and burned clergymen to death with flamethrowers. As a result, doctors were besieged by patients seeking information about the quickest way to commit suicide, and poison...
