So glad to know that over 55,000 young American men lost their lives and tens of thousands more were maimed or injured fighting a meaningless war there 40 years ago so that a unified communist Vietnam could buy its way to prosperity with America!!!
Truly a heartwarming story.
Truly a heartwarming story.
I have no affection for any commie government. My friends were killed and wounded in action in Vietnam. I was there over twenty months between two tours, 70 - 71, and later 71 - 72. Both tours were shortened by Nixon's timetablss to withdraw.
It's just the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Chicoms want to control the western Pacific to just shy of Hawaii. I'll be surprised if we don't have Navy and Air force combat over the freedom of the South China Sea.
BJ Clinton should never have normalized relations with them, until South Vietnam was allowed to elect its own government. Too many veterans from this war are still around to just pretend it didn’t happen.
If they want to know why the urban crime is lower than in other countries, they should point out that the other countries are democracies being compared to a communist slave state. Vietnam is only friendly because they are afraid that after China armed them to the teeth for their war against the US, they’ll be absorbed into China’s “sphere of influence”, or whatever phrase is used now when “free” countries are just a larger neighbor’s b!tch. China invaded in 1979, and certainly could do so again.
