Yep, for the leftist, the Vietnamese and Cambodians didn’t count then, and they don’t count now.

They feel (as they’ve always felt since Hubert Humphrey took the part to the left, along with LBJ), if there’s no threat to San Francisco or New York -- screw ‘em, whoever they are. Concern for humans stops at the borders.

And that’s the way they feel about Iraqis and Israelis today, regardless of those countries relationship with us. You can include Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Kerry, Gore and many others.

"...adding that “today Vietnam remains” only “nominally communist.”..."

WTF? Isn't that like being "nominally pregnant"?

Recalling a trip he made to Vietnam in 1991, Hirsh reported that he found a nation looking to the West and capitalism, adding that “today Vietnam remains” only “nominally communist.”

I suppose Hirsh considers Al Qaeda only nominally terrorist.

How many decades after we leave Iraq before he can make a visit to the nominally radical Islamist country that he dreams possible if we get out of their way?

How many will die at the hands of radicals that will make Saddam and his demonic sons look tame?

That is partially why it is so INFURIATING to hear liberals rant about the war. It shows what a bunch of phonies they are...Kennedy was their hero, and they hew to the line like it is the holy gospel, but...ask them to put their money where their mouth is and back up their words, and...you get this.

Our Enemies know this.

So should we.

Thanks for the link. Proud to see you travel 3,500 miles to support the guys.

I met a couple of guys in Phu Bai in early 1968 who were in the 7th. They were crewmen on a small fixed-wing reconnaissance plane—I can’t remember the name of it.

I was in 1st Marine Division—C 1/5—but I always admired 1st Cav. They flew food to us at the beginning of the Tet Offensive when a bunch of our choppers were down and the rest were dedicated to medivacs and delivering ammo. I think the Cav was in Nam longer than any other division.

apparently people like the Vietnamese and Cambodians don't really count...

Unless necessary to win elections.

I was the only accredited journalist to testify before Congress, July 1974 and April 1975, about the coming holocaust in Cambodia. Needless to say that I didn’t get any press coverage and it was only thanks to Prof. Louis Fanning, in his book “Betrayal in Vietnam”, that my testimony was revealed to the public.

Coming from a WW2 Holocaust-ravaged family, I felt that I owed my Vietnamese and Cambodian friends the moral duty to warn the world about what would happen if we betrayed them.

Democrats then; Democrats now. Always surrendering our allies to the enemy. Always ensuring that the enemy snatches victory from the jaws of defeat.

You guys from Nam know exactly what I mean. Now I have to explain to my son why the Democrats consider his service in Iraq as stupid and useless.

No more holocausts!!

You have to realize the Left think their shining moment was when the helicopters were evacuating the Saigon embassy. They had just defeated and neutered the most powerful army in the world opening their opportunity for a commie utopia in this Country.

The deaths of millions of Asians was the ways justifying the means. After all those were just capitalists being killed for the common good.

Pray for W and Our Troops

It is a sad and tragic day when the Left’s “shining moment” meant the defeat of freedom in three countries, gulags, reeducation camps and killing fields.

More people “disappeared” in one day in Cambodia and Vietnam than were killed in Chile after the ousting of Comrade Allende (listed at 3,000), but the Left only writes about Chile.
Castro and Che executed more innocent Cuban civilians (over 10,000) when they seized power than any so-called right-wing dictator in Latin America did.

However, you won’t see this in print.

Liberals and Leftists are souless SOBs and deserve whatever happens to them, hopefully by an illegal immigrant.

You are correct.

...Last Army Division out of Vietnam
