Truth hurts.
I don’t like it but I do understand it.
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to Join Harvard as Fellow this Fall
Such an easy transition.... Follow the money, part two. Or twelve....
It was Vietnam that ended The Killing Fields in Cambodia.
I think once Ho Chi Minh passed, it made the Vietnamese not so gung-ho about Communism, although they keep the symbolism.
Yamamoto went to Harvard, too.
Would be nice if 0’Biden would try to boost American military capabilities rather than destroying them.
Amen Brother, from an old Marine who was there.
What do the boat people say? Most of those folks kinda hate Hanoi.
The Viets played the geopolitical game far better than the US did. Give them their due. Ho said that Vietnam would kill one American for every ten of them and they would still win. And they did. So give credit where credit is due. Continued animosity solves nothing.
Maybe they should help us build our capabilities.
Which city is more prosperous today: Hanoi, or Saigon (I refuse to call it by its ‘official’ name)?
I wonder what their children and grandchildren think, I think they’ve probably moderated a bit.
At the cost of 58,000 American lives.
More money to be made by the politicians, their family members, and their big donors investing in the military complex.
I’m glad my Vietnam vet brother isn’t alive to see this $hit.
The U.S. was fighting a proxy war with China and Russia in Vietnam.
Vietnam is far more concerned with Chinese aggression than Australia and New Zealand.
WTF are we paying that with? Printed paper based on nothing? We’re 32 TRILLION in debt, in debt for the next 7 generations, millions of homeless all over America, working people cannot afford homes....And here we are again, giving more to effing foreign countries...

Isn't it interesting that Harvard still requires tuition -- much in the form of student loans -- and grants from the government? The amount used for various purposes comes to about 1.3 percent of the endowment, as the fund grows faster than it is spent down.
I'd written sometime back to the Harvard Crimson, the undergrad paper, asking why the endowment wasn't being used to fund more of student needs, and sparked a nice little conversation in articles.
:)
When I taught martial arts in Westminster?Garden Grove(Little Saigon)they were very, very pro America. I remember the PM of Vietnam came or maybe it was the mayor of Saigon( aka that other name) and they were furious.
Probably their children and grandchildren are pro Hanoi but they really respected their elders. Good question. No answer.
