Vanity: Am I the only one upset by this...
Me | May 23, 2016 | HarleyLady27

Posted on 05/23/2016 8:53:04 AM PDT by HarleyLady27

This to me, is a total disgrace to America and our Veterans that served during Viet Nam.

We have a wall with names of fallen Veterans that served this Country for it's freedoms and making it safe, and this President goes there and offers them weapons and other things...

Maybe I am upset because a lot of people I knew served there, people I grew up with, boys that I dated, men that I rode with, that never came back home...

I was privledged to see the "Viet Nam Wall" when I went with the Rolling Thunder out of PA. This was very hard for me as I found the names of my friends and have them today...

This worthless POS does not respect America nor does he respect our Military or our Veterans...

Sadly, Baraq is not the first traitor to pose there

We need to normalize our relationship with Viet Nam; the country is politically and economically where China was under Deng.

Barack Obama is the worst possible person to begin this. (Hillary would be a very close second.)

To me, it would be a bigger disgrace if that America-hating, homosexual mooslim went through the motions of "honoring" our dead on Memorial Day.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is a geo-political tactic to help contain China’s expansion. This would happen even if a Republican was in office.

Given that the Vietnamese will likely be using them to kill Red Chinese, this might actually be okay.

While I agree that obungle is an America-hater who has no respect for our military or our veterans, Viet Nam today is not the Viet Nam of 1968. With China rattling its saber in the Southeast of Asia, I suspect this is simply posturing to let the Chinese know that we have a presence there too, and we're not going to let them steamroll our allies.

Of course, with odungheap as a president, it's all just idle jibjab. And the idea of posing with a Ho Chi Minh statue is just typical of either his incompetence or his arrogance.

But the Vietnamese are not the Viet Cong and Viet Minh of the war era. Just like the Japanese of today are not like Tojo's pawns from WWII.

Even Ho said, “I’d rather smell French s—t for five years, than Chinese s—t for a thousand years.”

I doubt if any Japanese Prime Minister would agree to pose in front of an over-sized bust of Harry S. Truman.

Yeah … as if it’s okay to give weapons to foreign countries, but it’s not okay to be a Christian CHL holder in this country.

Washington, DC = Village of Idiots

If you have a Microsoft Lumia phone, look on the About screen, they are made in Vietnam at the Lumia factory there. Microsoft is selling that factory to Lenovo.

The U.S. also sold Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner airliners. They took delivery of the first one last year. Here’s a picture of the Boeing 787 in the Vietnam Airlines colors. Click on pictures for larger image at link below:

First of all, the enemy of your enemy is NOT always your friend.

But more than that, I doubt if any Japanese Prime Minister would agree to pose in front of an over-sized bust of Harry S. Truman. And no American President should be so craven as to pose in front of an over-sized bust of Ho Chi Minh.

That's because Japanese PMs love their country, unlike some US Presidents.

My issue is not **necessarily** the normalizing of relations. I understand it isn’t the same country, and I would have liked more transparency on the fates of some of the POW’s, etc.

But whether normalizing is good or bad, it shouldn’t be conducted in front of a grinning bust of Ho Chi Minh, the murdering SOB.
