Tina Peters’s conviction was upheld. The court of appeal concluded, however, that her sentence was improper because the judge wrongly considered her free speech as an aggravating factor for sentencing. Remanded for sentencing. When does the DOJ get involved to free Tina Peters?

The Son Tay prison raid, Operation Ivy Coast,, was a joint Army/Air Force mission to rescue 61 US POW’s held at Son Tay prison just 23 miles from Hanoi. It was PLANNED for Banana 1, a U.S. H-3 helicopter, to deliberately crash into the wall of the compound because fast roping in was too slow. When they arrived they found the prison empty. The POW’s had been moved a few days earlier out of security concerns. While the mission didn’t rescue anyone, and it cost a U.S. helicopter, word of the mission spread among the POW’s, boosting morale and it forced NVA to continually move them around to avoid targeting. Losing aircraft on a rescue mission does not by default make it a failure. theaviationgeekclub.com/the-story-of-b…
