Vandals Deface Vietnam War Memorial In Venice
CBS Los Angeles ^ | May 27, 2016

VENICE (CBSLA.com) — Vandals defaced a memorial to Vietnam war veterans in Venice – an awful sight on this Memorial Day weekend.

Stewart Oscars welled up as he looked at the vandalized mural located on Pacific Avenue near Sunset Court. It was covered in graffiti from end to end.

“This knocked me out. So sickening. Just sadness…think of all these people. They’re gone,” Oscars said. “I remember the Vietnam war and how friends went to war, and bodies came back. Somehow, it has to be taught that this is not a good idea. This is actually stupid.”

The memorial was dedicated to service members who were listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War...

close.

Anti-American punks more like it. A memorial in Henderson, Kentucky was damaged and Petersburg National Battlefield in Virginia was looted. Not sure what the latino population of KY or VA is lately. But certainly the perps do not share American values or moral standards.

You assume all anti-Trump punks are Latino, but that is not the case. They come in all races sadly enough.

Obama: Well, that was an unjustified war and I just wish Ho Chi Min was alive to meet me. That would have been awesome...for him, not me. I am the greatest, coolest, slickest and most humane US President to direct, oversee and run the dismantling of these United States...

This is just the beginning. I hope people are watching what the refugees are doing to Europe. Suppressing this information is a job the old media, BBo, and his Muslim maggots take very seriously. The refugee gangs in Europe are taking over the streets in Germany, France, Belgium, etc. The numbers are simply out of control and BO is bringing them here to deface and destroy our monuments and our country. BO has ginned up 3 wars to flood the civilized world with Muslim animals.

It’s the equivalent of desecrating a grave as far as I’m concerned and should be met with a stiff penalty. It would be nice to happen upon someone doing this well away from LAPD’s view since they are so disinterested anyway.

Muslims have been destroying grave markers of WWII troops in Libya. Now I read that a Muslim majority lives close to a Paris graveyard of American soldiers!

Vietnamese Communist Leader Says US Anti-War Activists Helped Their Victory

Richard Pollock
Reporter

In the weeks leading up to Memorial Day and President Barack Obama’s scheduled trip to Vietnam, a prominent Vietcong communist leader privately thanked American anti-war activists for helping defeat the U.S.-allied government in Vietnam in the 1970s, saying protest demonstrations throughout the United States were “extremely important in contributing to Vietnam’s victory.”

For Vietnamese guerrilla leader Madam Nguyen Thi Binh, who sent the private letter from Hanoi dated April 20, “victory” meant the communist takeover of South Vietnam. The letter addressed veteran American anti-war activists who gathered in Washington, D.C., at a May 3 reunion of radical “May Day” anti-war leaders.

The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a copy of the letter at the meeting.

Binh, now age 90, originally served as the highest ranking Vietnamese delegate to the Paris Peace Talks that imposed a ceasefire in the country in 1973.

The “Vietcong” was a ragtag group of communist guerrillas who were allied with the official communist government in North Vietnam. The country was cut in two in 1954, with the south seeking to build a democratic state allied to the West.

Binh’s frank admission highlights a secret side of the communist’s effective lobbying influence in the United States. Rather than live in the southern part of the country, which for decades she represented as a diplomat, it appears after the war Binh was living in Hanoi, the original capital of North Vietnam.

In her letter, she extolled the American anti-war movement, saying it was “a key component” that advanced the communist takeover of South Vietnam.

“The Vietnamese people have great appreciation for the peace and antiwar movements in the United States and view those movements’ contribution as important in shortening the war,” she wrote and which was read to an assembled group of “May Day” anti-war activists in Washington, D.C.

you’re completely right and I should be more careful about generalizing. :)
