We dropped 52 LARP guys and gals on Hue yesterday only to find out there is a Vietminh division there. Oops.

Quick, find the one they call "Uncle Ho" and make him some vague promises!




Why is Uncle Ho speaking in Hebrew?

Remember that Uncle Ho was a waiter at the 1919 Paris Peace conference. He picked up a smattering of everything.

Palestine (and the Balfour Declaration) were an important topic during the Paris Peace talks. The Zionist Organization lobbied the decision makers, like everyone else at the talks...

PI: Endless fighter sweeps over Luzon and Mindanao. I hope JJ is losing some good pilots because it is just murder on our fighter inventory. The Tojos are the worst.

You really need to do something about the plane to plane ratio in the air. That should help your losses

You are absolutely correct, of course, but the problem is the pace of operations has consumed a lot of aircraft. Also, there isn't enough ground support in Luzon to repair the planes quickly enough. I might be able to fly in a couple of Air HQ from new Guinea via Mindanao to help. Also there is the Del Monico Aviation unit that was evacuated from the PI sitting in Midway. Might try to ship them back on small AP's. It's worth the losses to grind down whole Jap divisions there.
