The Real Tragedy

..... 
I'm watching the Vietnam War story , ' We We're Soldiers ,and We were Young ' w/ Mel Gibson. The Air Cav barely survives their first incursion into enemy territory w/ massive losses. Through unrelenting air cover , the 1 st of the 3 rd makes it out.
The Viet colonel looks out at the battle scene and comments ' the great tragedy is that the Americans will think . they can win '

A warmish day after torrential downpours , last night and afternoon.
Humidity is up.
