We lost 55,000 boys so some new people could live in the palace and ride in the limousines.

Fork Vietnam.

We tried to help them and they killed us.

When they hang every last communist and pour pig crap on Ho’s grave.

Biden looked very comfortable sitting in front of a giant statue of Ho Chi Minh.

“Ooh, that’s gonna leave a mark!”

Neither country cares about their citizens let alone other citizens.

Link didn’t work.

She is perfect for the Harvard liberals with their minds of commie mush.

Vietnam upped the U.S.’s diplomatic status to a “comprehensive strategic partner,” the country’s highest tier placing the U.S. on par with China.

True. But China was their ally only when it was to their interests.

"True. But China was their ally only when it was to their interests."

Isn't that always the way it has been when we've been involved in proxy wars with both Russia and China? Russia and China have been linked together as partners in years past, when it's been beneficial to them. It's a relationship of convenience. Hitler did it with his non-agresssion treaty with Stalin. Every time HItler wanted to invade a country, he'd make a pact/treaty with them that he wouldn't invade. Then he'd stage a false flag incident, and invade them. I don't think I'll ever understand why any country would have trusted Hitler's word on anything. He never kept it.

I should have mentioned in my last comment that the one thing that hasn’t happened in the decades on-and-off relationship between Russia and China, is that they haven’t stabbed each other in the back...yet.

Since RNVN kicked our asses

They did not. We never lost a major battle and Tet was a disaster for them. Our ass kicking, and it was, came from Washinton DC politics and the democrats and Walter Cronkite lying about the Tet Offensive.

North Vietnam was considering suing for peace but saw what was happening in the USA politics and decided to carry on a losing war which they won. Thank the Democrats for this and the left wing media.

There were many, many, many times as many times as that, Vietnamese killed and wounded.

I have been all around Vietnam.

They do not hold a grudge. They are growing, and raising families.

Hmmm... The Vietnamese are not on very good terms with the Chinese, but we (USA) are now on the same level with the Vietnamese as China. Hmmm...

Good for them.

They should have plenty of time to hang every communist and dump pig crap on Ho’s grave.
