Sept. 17, 1970 – Vietnam War
The People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) for South Vietnam presents a new peace plan at the Paris talks. Nguyen Thi Binh, foreign minister of the PRG, attending the peace talks for the first time in three months, outlined the eight-point program, which was similar to another program first presented in May 1969. In exchange for the withdrawal of all U.S. and Allied forces by June 30, 1971, communist forces promised to refrain from attacking the departing troops and also offered to begin immediate negotiations on the release of POWs once the withdrawal was agreed to. The PRG statement demanded the purge of South Vietnam’s top three leaders: President Nguyen Van Thieu, Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, and Premier Tran Thien Khiem. This demand was a major inhibitor to any meaningful peace negotiations, since the United States refused to abandon Thieu.

Thank you, my friend SP5 Mark Kuzinski for reminding us about the tactics of the People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) for South Vietnam which would present "peace plans" with ridiculous demands. This case the "PRG statement demanded the purge of South Vietnam’s top three leaders: President Nguyen Van Thieu, Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, and Premier Tran Thien Khiem."

Vietnam War: 1/503 of 173rd Infantry On Patrol in September 1970
"Shows planning a mission, GIs being transported by Chinook and a long, hot and grubby day moving through jungle, over hills and rice paddies.Includes calling in artillery on nearby hill side, questioning villagers and examining intertwined sticks used by VC/NVA as a guide. Film has no sound and was shot with a 16 mm Filmo powered by a wind-up spring. No light meter. No auto-focus. Army photographer was Chris Jensen of the 221st Signal Company/Southeast Asia Pictorial Center."
