I'm asking whether or not you'd fight in the Vietnam war, a war you seem, in
retrospect, to favor, though, having historical hindsight, you tactically
back away from. That was the question. Dragging in Mao, whom I loathe, or
Kim Il Sung, ditto, is, in this place, irrelevant, but a handy smokescreen.

And if you were/are so gung ho about killing dinks, what was your opinion
about your former boss Bill C., who avoided such noble service?
