      Pinboard Retweeted Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III

      No one ever mentions that McCain was shot down while bombing a civilian target in a densely populated city. The secretary's tribute here to what has become an American military tradition is fitting.https://twitter.com/SecDef/status/1420648125111304197 …

      It's been nearly 55 years since the late @SenJohnMcCain crashed into Truc Bach lake, before spending the next five-and-a-half years as a POW in Hoa Lo prison. Visiting this marker earlier today was certainly a sobering and humbling experience. pic.twitter.com/Ujf7v9bpmU

      The targets McCain and his fellow airmen bombed had no military value; they took place hundreds of miles from where American soldiers were fighting. The purpose of the bombings was to inflict suffering on civilians severe enough to put pressure on the North Vietnamese government.

          If in 1967 North Vietnam had bombed a power plant in Oakland we'd consider it the greatest war crime since Pearl Harbor. (There was in fact a nice short story based on such a premise, but I can't remember the author's name).

          For the curious, this is where McCain dropped his bombs before getting shot down. The target is the white structure just above the bridge on the right.pic.twitter.com/92Rie1Rixa

          I appreciate how North Vietnam beat us so thoroughly that they are cool with people coming to lay wreaths for war criminals or hunt for small pieces of US airmen in the jungle. The same people took baguettes and coffee away from the French and made them tastier. Pure boss move.

          South Vietnam, meanwhile, represents the second great American military tradition of the post WWII era: abandoning the people who fought side by side with you for years to be imprisoned or killed.

          How did you determine that a power plant, which Hanoi defended with US POWs, had no military value? In the Pentagon Papers, there's an argument that it had limited military value as well as limited effect on civilian morale, and wasn't worth it. https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/pentagon4/pent4.htm …pic.twitter.com/3WUGx0e3nA

          The powerplants, factories, railroads, bridges, etc. are primary targets in any full-scale war, because the infrastructure is critical for supporting the country's war effort. Civilian targets would be residential areas.
