I always wonder why there was not a response by
LBJ when the USS Pueblo, a USN Intelligence
ship was captured by the North Koreans in the
late 1960's. We were lucky to get all our men
back, but the ship is now a museum in North Korea
showing how they got away beating up the
Americans.
At the same time, the Vietnam war was going on,
and the USS Liberty was attacked by the Israelis
during the three day war in 1967.
