Everyone is encouraged to compare two attacks on U.S. Navy vessels in international waters.
The USS Maddox was attacked on August 2, 1964. There were no American casualties.
Millions of civilians in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam would die in the coming years.
The USS Liberty was attacked on June 8, 1967. 34 Americans died. 171 Americans were wounded.
Civilians in Israel didn't have to be concerned one little bit about carpet bombing, napalm, or defoliant.
Never forget.
