    Yeah, the Israelis were re-drawing the map of the Middle East, and the CIA, US State Dept., and others didn't like it! The USS Liberty (a WW2 Victory ship armed with 4-50 caliber machine guns) was monitoring the Israeli's military communications, and the Israelis feared that the US might attempt to even the odds in favor of the Egyptians and Syrians by revealing that Israel was shifting forces from the Sinai to the Golan Heights, in order to gain more territory before a US/UN brokered cease-fire went into effect. So, Israel did what was best for Israel and took the Liberty off the chess board.
    Yeah, the 1960s thru the 1980s was a time of our military having to consistently do stupid shit at the behest of our dipshit government! Two examples are Johnson and Nixon running (and losing) the Vietnam War from the Oval Office and the State Dept. insisting that the Marines in Beirut be unarmed "peacekeepers"! So glad that I was never able to serve! I am amazed that the USSR/ Warsaw Pact didn't kick our asses back in the day! Also, amazed that we were able to fight and win the Gulf Wars and Afghanistan, and then stayed long enough to lose! It's a wonder that the US military hasn't overthrown the government!
