Aug 20, 2024 | thehill.com | Mark Moyar

The federal government’s 74 inspectors general trace their lineage to the Inspector General Act of 1978, which authorized them to promote efficiency and effectiveness and to combat waste, fraud and abuse.

Americans have long derided dictators for eliminating political opponents by prosecuting them on dubious grounds and denying them due process. Hence, they would have widely condemned the use of these techniques to obtain the criminal conviction of a candidate for high office—were it not for the fact that the candidate was Donald Trump.

Between 1962 and 1975, I spent more time in Vietnam than in the U.S. and escaped under fire when Saigon fell. I speak the three languages of the country (Vietnamese, Chinese, and French).

On July 10, 1969, Seattle held a parade for the first U.S. Army brigade to be withdrawn from Vietnam.
