Hello kerberus

Are you aware that there is a very modern ENT - Ear Nose and Throat - unit at the Ang Duong Hospital in Phnom Penh?

Re: Operation Commando Vault 1969

And, John, The video you post to forum is nothing to do with Operation Commando Vault.

The video you have chosen to post is one of a B52 bombing raids on an undisclosed destination/target.
A deliberately misleading Video posting? Or a personal lack of knowledge of these matters?

Re: Operation Commando Vault 1969

Yes, John. Like many ex servicemen who served their country, and obeyed their lawful commanders, I do reflect on such matters. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Would you rather such matters never be aired in public?

Re: Older girls in PP

This thread reminds me of my days in South Vietnam in 1969 during the war there.
There was this quotation: Go Ugly - Go Early.

Different location, but Soi Cowboy, Sukhumvit, Bangkok, still has "Wife for the Week" deals.
Probably the same in Soi 11 based on a visit there 19 days ago.
