30th January 1968

What's with the date "30th January 1968"? Is it a reference to anything, or just a random date pulled to make the joke about when Sutherland stopped trusting Lithgow?

30 January 1968 was the beginning of the Tet Offensive in the Viet Nam War. Perhaps Lawton knows that Col. Livingston had something to do with it.

Sutherland's character served under Lithgow's in the Vietnam war so I would imagine it's got something to do with that. A betrayal maybe?
