Hoplite: you took me completely the wrong way (as you often do).
In other words, the point I was making was that the author was making a stupid statement. Any prudent person can stop at the point that I cited (which was),
[”Holbrooke praises the communist Vietcong, who killed over 58,000 of our young troops...”]
Who needs to read any further?...Hmmmmmm?
Or, am I the only one who has the brains to see this?
Well apparently Hoplite’s “brains” were not in use at the time of his post.
