When Steve Gardner appeared on the Savage Nation talk show, Friday before last, he said that even if Kerry had wanted to sail up the Mekong from Sa Dec into Cambodia, there were patrols and such in his way. He mentioned an LTV. What did he mean? Aircraft from LTV? Surveillance equipment LLLTV, etc? Did I just hear him wrong, perhaps?

My transcript of the show says LCV not LTV. I believe that was the designation of the "Higgins Boat" in WWII. Take a quick look a this link:

You sure he didn't say LCT? You can look at the ATSB set up at Ha Tien (Cambodian border) here. The border was guarded by that ATSB to make sure that no one made a boo boo.

LCT would make sense. But it didn't sound like he said that. I think I'll correct it to LCT, and leave the braced question mark afterward.
