Tactical Emergency!
About this video
A military veteran recounts a combat experience where his small force of about 150 men faced 5,000-6,000 enemy troops who repeatedly mass attacked from the wood line. The guest describes how, on day three or four, he identified incoming artillery fire from a Cambodian army base being used by the NVA. He declared a tactical emergency to authorize bombing the neutral Cambodian territory, which created an international incident and reportedly put his name on Nixon’s desk within an hour.
