SỐ 16 ĐỒNG NGHĨA VỚI THÀNH LŨY TAN NÁT (SHATTERED CITADEL)

LÂM = 314 = 8

QUANG = 16153 = 16 = 7

THI = 451 = 10 = 1

Cộng lại: 8 7 1 = 16.

Phạm văn Phú sanh ngày 16/10/1928.

Hai vị tướng này, một người có tên bằng 16, người kia có ngày sanh là 16. Sau đây là 1 phần của ý nghĩa của số 16, dựa theo sách Linda Goodman's Star Signs.

"Theo nguời Chaldeans cổ đại thì số 16 đuợc biểu tuợng bởi hình ảnh “một Tòa Tháp bị Sét đánh, từ đó một nguời đang rơi xuống, với một Vuơng miện trên đầu” (a Tower struck by Lightning, from which a man is falling, which a Crown on his head”). Số này cảnh báo về một tai họa tiền định lạ lùng (strange fatality), cũng như sự nguy hiểm của các tai nạn và sự thất bại của những kế hoạch của nguời mang số đó. Nếu tên bằng 16, điều dĩ nhiên là khôn ngoan đổi tên để tránh tác động của nó. Nếu ngày sanh là ngày 16 của bất cứ tháng nào, sự thử thách của số 16 phải đuợc cẩn thận đón nhận/đáp ứng, để cho tác động/ảnh huởng có thể giảm nhẹ tới một mức không khắc nghiệt lắm (the challenge of the 16 must be met, so that its effect may be diluted to a milder vibration). Để tránh khuynh huớng tiền định đầy khắc nghiệt này (the fatalistic tendency) của ngày sanh là số 16, nguời (có ngày sanh là 16) này phải cố gắng lập kế hoạch truớc khi làm bất cứ việc gì (one must endeavor to make all plans in advance), để chắc chắn rằng mọi khả năng của thất bại phải đuợc tiên liệu/biết truớc (making certain that any possibility of failure is anticipated) và phải đuợc né tránh/đi vòng quanh/đổi huớng (circumvented) bằng cách chú ý cẩn thận từng chi tiết.

Trong khi đó khi nhận lịnh rút bỏ Kontum, Pleiku, và Phú Bổn của tổng thống Thiệu, tướng Phú đã làm 1 cách hấp tấp, ko chuẩn bị kỹ lưỡng, bất chấp ý kiến của ĐT Lê khắc Lý tham mưu trưởng của QĐ 2 là phải cần ít nhứt 1 tuần để soạn thảo kế hoạch rút quân. Cuộc rút quân bắt đầu ngày 16/3, nghĩa là chỉ sau 2 ngày từ cuộc họp tại Cam Ranh.

Cũng như vậy, tướng LQ Thi, có tên bằng 16, đã hấp tấp thảo kế hoạch rút quân khỏi phía bắc đèo Hải Vân (do ông phụ trách), và trình lên tướng Trưởng. Theo hồi ký của chỉ huy các đơn vị ở bắc đèo Hải Vân, thì tính đến trước ngày 25/3/75, tình hình ở khu vực này như sau:

"Theo hồi ký của Đại Tá Nguyễn Thành Trí, lúc đó là Tư Lệnh mặt trận Tây Bắc Huế thuộc đạo quân Tiền Phương QĐI, thì lệnh hành quân lui binh này được soạn thảo bởi Trung Tướng Lâm Quang Thi tại Thuận An vào trưa ngày 24/3/75 và được Đại Tá Lê Ngọc Hy, Tham Mưu Trưởng QĐI TP mang về Đà Nẳng trình cho Trung Tướng Ngô Quang Trưởng TL QĐI, được Tướng Trưởng ký chấp thuận lúc 5 giờ 30 chiều 24/3/75. (TT2 TQLC trang 537-538)

- Theo Đ/Úy Nguyễn Quang Đan thì vào một buổi sáng tháng Ba, anh không nhớ ngày, (theo tôi thì có lẽ là sáng 25/3/75) anh nhận được bản sao của lệnh hành quân triệt thoái QĐI Tiền Phương đã được Tướng Trưởng ký, anh vội vã đưa cho Tướng Lân, đọc xong ông than: “ĐM thế này thì chết lính tao rồi!”, sau đó ông ra lệnh cho anh bay ra Thuận An đưa cho Đại Tá Nguyễn Thế Lương LĐT/LĐ147 một lá thư kèm theo lời dặn “Tìm ra QL1 mà đi” rồi Tướng TL đi thẳng lên Trung Tâm Hành Quân Sư Đoàn. Tiếc thay Đ/Tá Lương đã không nghe lời.

LÊ = 35 = 8

KHẮC = 2513 = 11 = giữ nguyên

LÝ = 31 = 4

Cộng lại: 8 11 4 = 23 = rất may mắn.

Kit Carson

Although Chaplain McGonigal's 1966 survey and General Walt's message reflected some of the negative features resulting from Marine infantry units operating in populated areas, Marines more often than not demonstrated that they could work with individual South Vietnamese to bring stability to the countryside . One of the most unusual and yet successful of these attempts was the formation of special cadre made up of former VC. These men, former enemy troops, had taken advantage of the government "open arms" (Chieu Hoi) policy and rallied to the government cause. The Marines began to use a selected few of these "ralliers" or Hoi Chanhs during the spring of 1966. In May, a group of VC surrendered to units of the 9th Marines, asking for asylum. The enemy im mediately started a rumor among the people that the Marines had tortured and killed one of the ralliers by the name of Ngo Van Bay. Colonel Simmons, the regimental commander, asked Bay and two of his

Former Viet Cong who defected to the government attend an indoctrination class. The Marines recruited several of these "ralliers" or Hoi Chanhs as "Kit Carson scouts" to accompany Marine units in the field. // A former VC (right), now a Kit Carson scout assigned to the 1st Battalion, 26th Marines in the An Hoa sector, points out a possible enemy hiding place.// These former VC were not only a valuable tactical asset, but served to further allied propoganda. Marine Corps Photo A370000 compatriots to return to the village and put the rumor to rest for once and for all. The three former Viet Cong agreed and, according to Simmons, this, in a small way, was the beginning of the program. Other Marine units at Da Nang, and eventually in all of the TAORs, started using former VC as scouts, interpreters, and intelligence agents. By October 1966, the program was established on a permanent, official basis. General Nickerson, the commanding general of the 1st Marine Division, who was part Indian and a Western history buff, designated the former VC working with the Marines as "Kit Carson scouts." He selected the name because the Hoi Chanhs working with the Marines were good scouts, in the tradition of Kit Carson, the famed frontiersman, Indian agent, and soldier. *4

===

From October to December 1966, III MAF credited the Kit Carson scouts with the killing of 47 VC, the capture of 16 weapons, and the discovery of 18 mines and tunnels. The scouts repeatedly proved themselves a valuable tactical asset. For example , in November, one scout attached to the 1st Marine s at Da Nang led a Marine company at night over unfamiliar terrain to an objective area, resulting in the surprise and capture of 15 Viet Cong. The scouts provided more than just tactical capability. They were also a valuable propaganda tool. Villagers were much more ready to listen to them than to representatives of the government. During a December County Fair one scout gave a speech to the gathered villagers and evoked applause from his audience several times. According to the Marine report, the scout then : . . . ventured into the VCC/VCS compound and spoke to them. . . . A definite response was observed by the facial expressions of some of the individuals. Attention seemed to follow the Kit Carson Scout wherever he went, including an apparent interest generated among the ARVN troops who participated in the operation. Psychological Warfare

The Kit Carson program was only part of an intensive psychological warfare campaign that III MAF had begun in the latter half of 1966 . In fact, it was an officer in the III MAF Psychological Warfare Sec tion, Captain Stephen A. Luckey, who recommend ed the formal implementation of the Kit Carson pro ject and it was the Psychological Warfare Section that developed the Kit Carson SOP . The section had consisted of only Luckey and a senior staff NCO un til 4 August, when General Walt assigned Colone l Robert R. Read as the psychological warfare officer . In September the section became a special staff sec tion, directly responsible to the III MAF Chief of Staff. According to the force order establishing the section, Colonel Read had four basic missions: 1. to reduce the combat efficiency of the VC ; 2. to further the effort of the South Vietnamese Govern ment in establishing control by attempting to modify at titudes and behavior of special audiences ; 3. to coordinate psychological operations with civic ac tion programs; 4. and finally to obtain the assistance and cooperation o f the South Vietnamese villagers .43 General Walt did not expect Colonel Read to ac complish miracles, but he wanted "an increased em 247 phasis on psychological operations by all III MAF commands." Colonel Read was to coordinate the III MAF efforts within the command and with the ARVN, MACV, and U.S. Information Agency and its South Vietnamese counterpart. Read remembered that his two initial problems were that "There were no T/ 0 billets for PsyWar personnel and there were no Marines trained in PsyWar opera tion. " He and his small staff took several steps to overcome these difficulties. They persuaded III MAF to direct its subordinate organizations to establish psychological warfare sections and instituted mon thly meetings of PsyWar personnel. Moreover, III MAF requested Headquarters, Marine Corps "to pro vide school trained PsyWar personnel in replacemen t drafts, which they did ." On 18 September, Read ob tained operational control of the U .S. Army's 24th Psychological Operations Company's two detachments in I Corps, one at Da Nang and th e other in Quang Ngai . Believing that the physical separation seriously hampered the company, Read consolidated both detachments at Da Nang and established there in October a Psychological Warfare Operations Center. By the end of the year, III MAF had a coordinated program that included the preparation of leaflets and broadcasts aimed at the enemy forces, as well as the screening of Hoi Chanh's for employment as Kit Carson scouts . According to Read, the increase in former VC rallying to the Viet namese Government through the Chieu Hoi pro gram was in part due to the new emphasis on psychological warfare operations. 44 C

Người tuổi Hợi (year of pig) - tuổi của tôi, theo tử vi Trung Hoa. (Dịch từ quyển The Complete Book of Chinese Horoscopes by Chris Marshall).

Nhận xét: Nếu những ai tuổi Hợi đều có những đặc tính sau đây thì thế giới sẽ tốt đẹp rất nhiều -- nhưng bất hạnh thay, rất ít người tuổi Hợi có đủ các đặc tính này. Tuổi Hợi trong đại gia đình của tôi và bạn bè thân thuộc có: tôi. em gái, em rể, một ng cháu kêu tôi bằng bác, một người cháu kêu tôi bằng cậu, một bạn trẻ sanh năm 1971 (thường xuyên thất nghiệp, bất mãn), v.v...

I / Về tổng quát người tuổi Hợi có đặc tính như sau.

Cũng như mọi việc trên đời, bạn phải chờ đến phút cuối cùng để thấy được phần tốt đẹp nhứt (you have to wait until the very end for the best bit). Những người tuổi này là những “viên kim cương“ theo cung hoàng đạo Trung Hoa (“diamonds” of the Chinese zodiac). Dù cho kim cương có thể chưa cắt gọt bởi một nghệ nhân lành nghề (they may not have been cut by a master craftman), và dù cho kim cương có thể chưa được đánh bóng (they may be rather unpolished), kim cương vẫn là kim cương (but diamonds they are nonetheless). Nguời tuổi Hợi luôn luôn thành thật, cởi mở, ngay thẳng, nói khác đi, họ được rất nhiều người yêu mến (honest, open, and upright, in other words, immensely popular people). Họ không biết đi cửa sau hoặc nham hiểm/đểu giả, mà lại thích giải quyết mọi việc bằng một cách thức hoàn toàn thẳng thắn và lương thiện (do not know how to be devious or underhanded, preferring to deal with all situations in a totally frank and honest manner). Nhiều người có thể xem họ là khờ dại (simple) và cố gắng lợi dụng bản tính tốt đẹp của họ - thật sự thì rất dễ gạt gẩm họ - nhưng người tuổi Hợi thường coi trọng những mặt tốt của kẻ khác, và đặt sự ngờ vực (kẻ khác) vào hàng thứ yếu (but Boars would much rather think the very best of someone, leaving suspicion and mistrust to other signs). Người tuổi Hợi có một dự trữ lớn lao về nội lực (vast reservoir of internal strength), và người khác thường đến với họ và dựa vào, một cách không cố ý, sức chịu đựng và tính chung thủy của họ (other people unwitting come to depend on their fortitude and loyalty). Về căn bản, người tuổi Hợi rất đáng được bạn tin cậy và thuờng sẽ làm việc hết mình để đạt được điều tốt đẹp nhất cho chính họ và cho người chung quanh họ - càng nhiều người càng tốt (In essence, Boars are highly trustworthy and will usually work very hard to achieve the best for themselves and as many people around them as possible). Họ tin tưởng một cách mãnh liệt vào một cuộc sống thanh bình và hầu như sẽ làm hết sức mình để cố gắng giải quyết bất cứ khó khăn (They believe fervently in a peaceful life and will to almost any lengths to try to solve any problem). Ở những người tuổi Hợi KÉM PHÁT TRIỂN (câu này nghe quen quen -- Tài), lại có khuynh hướng đắm say trong thú vui xác thịt, và một vài tác phong/cách cư xử của họ cuối cùng sẽ có thể hoàn toàn thoái hóa/suy đồi (In less-developed Boars, there is a tendency to wallow in sensuality, and some Boars’s behaviour can end up being quite degenerate). May mắn thay, đó chỉ là số ít, nói chung, mặc dù họ thích hưởng thụ những cái tốt/đẹp trong cuộc đời, nhưng họ lại không đắm say/sa ngã vì nó (Fortunately, this is not the norm, and in general, although they enjoy the good things of life, they are not over-indulgent). Cái gì họ có được, họ đều CHIA SẺ, bởi người tuổi Hợi tin rằng “nhà của tôi cũng là nhà của anh“ và sự rộng rải/hào phóng của họ còn đi xa hơn - nếu bất cứ ai gặp khó khăn, bạn có thể nhờ người tuổi Hợi giúp một tay. (What they do have they share, because Boars believe that "my house is your house “, and their generosity goes further - if anyone is ever in trouble, you can depend upon a Boar to lend a hand).
