Other than doing our best to ignore that it was happening, no. The Case-Church Amendments forbid funding any actions in Southeast Asia without approval of Congress after 1973, which wasn't going to happen during that time period.

My post script is I've been to the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng a number of times during the '95-98 timeframe. I recall Pol Pot "surrendering" to Ta Mok. He wasn't in good shape health wise. No purist or altruistic motives anywhere as virtually all officials are corrupt to one extent or another. One of my tasks was construction of Khmer Rouge defector camps and the reintegration. Just moving one corrupt into another corrupt clothing line.

No, this was all the Khmer Rouge. They blamed the Vietnamese, pinning it on their 1979 invasion. What involvement did you think the US had?

Assisting the CIA in the testing of binary mortars by Citizen Number One. To verify the effectiveness of these chemical and biological weapons manufactured by the US in field situation with plausible deniability. My MOS is 02L2C. Having bad dreams about my service in the 25th Infantry 76-78... Waking up smelling almonds, new-mown hay and human excrement... My 201 is all screwed up... Multiple redactions, unrecorded training and TDYs, along with outright false entries... I was not a model soldier...
