Gents,
It took a while, but, here's the story on bureaucrats removing 11 words from the PUC issued to SOG April 4, 2001 at Ft. Bragg.
Got this from a friend the other day & just don't understand the logic in determining that under General Order 2013-07, the following words were removed from the original General Order 2001-25: “…and helicopters units of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines Corps.” That was the only mention of Army and Marine helicopter units who fought so valiantly during that secret war.
I did not know the original wording existed. This wonderfully written report gives more credit than did the original PUC, and I think the author deserves recognition for uncovering this insulting of revisionist history. Thank you, Mr. Meyer.
Aviators flying support during the secret eight-year war in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam had their heroic efforts erased by a small federal government agency in 2013, SOFREP has learned.

During that top-secret cross-border war fought from 1964 to 1972, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy aircraft supported Green Berets and their indigenous counterparts running reconnaissance and other classified operations deep behind enemy lines under the aegis of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam—Studies and Observations Group, or simply SOG.
The secret war was a high-risk security operation hidden from the press, the public, most members of Congress, as well as the family members of special operations forces who ran these top-secret missions. SOG operated outside the normal chain of command, answering directly to the White House and a key staff member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

You are surprised the bureaucrats are bureaucrats? This is why the Federal government needs to pruned down to a proper size.

Nothing like supporting our veterans like taking away their accomplishments! Sad.

This so secret I've never heard about it until this article SCPO David Lockwood. Let's see. Who was in office then? Could it have been Obama? Yes, I'm right. Allowing some history to be erased. Figures.
