i'm sorry, but i'm not quite understanding the importance of posting these documents here. while it's an interesting piece of history, the government, and the personal involved, come out years ago, and admitted that the gulf of tonkin incident never took place. that said, i appreciate the time, money, and effort put forth to retrieve these documents.
