Good morning.

I’ve never understood Giap’s reputation as a brilliant General.

He beat the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu mostly because of his willingness to sacrifice his own troops and the ineptness of the French commanders. The French gave up in Indochina, largely because of the efforts of the Marxists at home and in other French Colonies.

We cleaned the Communist’s clock during Giap’s Tet ‘68 offensive and in the aftermath, essentially destroying the Vietcong in the south. After Tet '68 the Vietcong was mostly made up of Northern draftees.

Giap’s invasion of the South in 1972 was another bloody failure, and it took three years of rebuilding and the aid of the DemocRAT party for the Communists to finally succeed.

Maybe Saigon is now Ho Chi Minh City, but that has less to do with Giaps military brilliance than it does with the perfidy of the DemocRAT party and the US Legislature.

Never forget.

Never forget.

I won't.

And a Good Morning to you, Sir.

Don't forget the perfidy of the MSM ... Walter Cronkite, King of Liars, converted "disastrous defeat" to "stunning victory" for his heroes the Viet Cong.
