"And my understanding is that there is absolutely no ill-will towards American tourists in Vietnam, and they are treated very well."

That's my understanding, also. Makes me wonder if maybe we should not have got involved and VN would have learned about capitalism sooner.

What do you think about the Philippines inviting US military back? On one hand, the bigger US presence in that region, the less aggression from CCP. Plus, the Norks may back off some.

On the other hand, supply Japan, Taiwan, South Korea with nukes and let them all play the MAD game without us.

SO, THE CURRENT TAKEOVER OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOESN’T COUNT AS COMMUNISM ON THE MARCH?

RECOGNITION OF THE VIETNAM VETERAN IS ABOUT A HALF CENTURY TOO LATE. ANYONE REMEMBER THE PATHETIC PARADE A BUNCH OF VIET VETS GAVE THEMSELVES? IF YOU’RE GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH A HUMILIATING TRAVESTY AT LEAST STRAC UP! DON’T APPEAR IN RAGS, AND OLD FATIGUE JACKETS! I WAS EMBARRASSED TO LOOK AT THAT DEBASING, NAUSEATING, SELF ABUSIVE SPECTACLE!

LBJ STARTED THE WAR WITH A LIE, AND CRONKITE LOST IT WITH ANOTHER! BOTH LIBERAL DEMS/COMMUNISTS. THEY’RE WHO WE SHOULD HAVE TRAINED OUR WEAPONS ON!

“NOT EVERYONE WHO LOST THEIR LIFE IN VIETNAM DIED THERE.”

You think Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi want to work side by side with their comrades pulling turnips?

Not hardly.

They are crooks, not communists.

A Troop, 1st Squadron 9th Cav, 1st Cavalry Division (Air Mobile), 4/70-4/71, 35K20 Avionics Tech, not a hero, I just did my job. Tay Nihn, Song Be (FSB Buttons)

Vietnam made this 18 year old grow-up quickly, 50 friggin' years ago, good grief I'm old.

58,220+ didn't make it home and I still mourn their loss.

And F**K you Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara for forcing the rules of engagement on us or we would have won that war!
