I was there and I saw severed heads impaled on stakes. It wasn't Americans who did it!!!!
I saw the results of bombs that were detonated in restaurants and bars, and it wasn't Americans who did that either.
I saw bodies that had been butchered because they were believed to be helping the Americans.
I was in villages where every young girl that lived there had been raped in the town square by the VC as punishment for the village not giving them enough food. In 34 months in country I saw blood, gore, and death perpetrated by the VC over and over again. Either tell the truthful and complete story or STFU!!!!!

Ya know...the MSM is already beating the drum of losing this war. Our Country cannot survive the loss of another war. Everything changed, for the worse, when we left Vietnam...Why do so many want to see us lose? Why do so many think we are the bad guys?

Without reading one reply, I'm guessing this absolves Kerry...or at a minimum dulls the SwiftBoat charges that may arise in 08?

They have my respect. That's for sure. I think what they are doing in Iraq is very risky, takes a lot of courage and character. I'd be ashamed to denegrate them without exhaustive proof they actually did something wrong personally.

I'm with you on this.

In reality, I don't think anyone thinks that we're the bad guys... The problem is the MSM themselves. They never EVER ask any Vietnamese that had left VN because of the atrocities commited by the communists. I have not heard or read any interview by the SLIMES on the VN communities that live in the states or even in VN now. I can tell you that the MAJORITY of the Vietnamese wished the outcome of the war turning out the other way around!!! That's said, the MSM ALWAYS want us to lose in ANY war... They're a bunch of hate America first. And to me, they're just bastards.

Does this report disclose the foreign involvement in POL POT?

Didn't think so! Only 3million+ were killed.

It has been labeled the "killing fields" but since Americans were not involved, it does not matter.

"Why do so many want to see us lose? Why do so many think we are the bad guys?"

To them, we are the bad guys. They hate America as it has always been and since before WW2 have wanted to install their eutopian version of the Soviet Union. They ardently opposed our involvement into WW2, until Germany turned on the Soviets, then they were all for it.

It's time to wake up, America. We are not only fighting terrorists worldwide, we are facing our own Bolshevik Revolution right here in America.

Just look at the left and how they advocate and preach everything Lenin and Marx taught. Look how they oppose America and support Communist nations. And, we have let these subversives take control of our schools and government agencies.

Kruschev said he would bury America and not a shot would be fired. He is very close to succeeding.

I wonder what the rate of atrocities for an equivalent population of journalists is?

Thank you

My brother served in Viet Nam, and although he is very conservative and certainly never sees himself as a victim of any kind, he still deals, even today, with the repercussions of the treatment he and others got when they returned home. One of the biggest disgraces this country has ever done, and all involved should be ashamed. I was little but I will never forget it.

"And still fewer were held accountable for the millions of deaths resulting from the duplicity of the MSM.

Compared to the crimes of the MSM, the soldier's were relatively minor."


AMEN to that!!!
