I was 13 years old when this happened and remember it well plus my disappointment with Eisenhower's not sending help. NE Ohio received many of those who fled and I have met many over the course of my life. I do take exception with those who expressed the thought that the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave would've dropped in paratroopers. You do not know that, it is pure speculation. After all, there is no oil in Hungary, just beautiful rolling plains. His conduct in office has been to not protect us from 9/11 - remember it happened on his watch! The air squadrons that were to have been scrambled were ordered down that day. And, coupled with his comments that the Constitution is just a g--d--- scrap of paper says quite clearly that he doesn't respect the Constitution, that document that those of us who have served in the armed forces of our country swore to protect and defend. Remember, he went AWOL from the TANG and his papers showed that he refused to serve ! in Vietnam. a proud descendant of Zemplen province, Vern (Tobias) Hall (my mother remarried)
