@jonsopel@StevenJNorris Brings to mind that in 1966, on being told that PresCharles DeGaulle had taken France out of NATO and that all U.S. troops must be evacuated from French soil Pres LBJ mentioned to Secretary of State Dean Rusk that he should ask DeGaulle if this included US Troops buried there.
