Good post, Tonk!

in the '68 Tet offensive, the zips lost, Big Time.

In the '72 offensive, they lost again.

Our losses can be blamed on Kerry's fifth column.

I just wish people actually read American History.

Eisenhower AND Nixon were involved in Viet Nam since 12 Feb 55

Kennedy and Johnson may have escalated the war
BUT Eisenhower AND Nixon got the USA involved.

And merci beaucoup to the French!

Read Bernard Fall's books. Annam, Cochinchina and Viet Nam are synonymous; the conflict there spans a millennium.

We have to keep an eye on the "history" of the Viet Nam war.

We and other vets who were there know the true history.

Not the common misconceptions.

I believe the first American casualties in Nam were CIA contract pilot "Earthquake McGoon" and his copilot who died air dropping supplies into Dien Bien Phu on May 6th, 1954, the day before it fell.

There was a show on one of the documentary channels about him recently, I can't recall which channel.

Earthquake McGoon

Um, but who set forth the doctrine of "containment"? Harry Something Truman.

Any way, when the French did the French thing, that is, running away, that inflamed the mess in Algeria.

So the French ran away from that fight too, which begat the islamofascist movement.

If suicide bombers started blowing themselves up and killing people in downtown Boston, would Kennedy say that they were trying to win the hearts and minds of the people of Massachusetts?

Iraqis suffered for years under Saddam Hussein. Which Iraqis, Senator Kennedy, had their hearts and minds won over by seeing their friends and relatives blown up by insurgents? I'll tell you which ones. The ones who went out and voted. The insurgents random, wanton bloodshed drove them to the polls, you idiot.

Kinnard concocted the incomparably funny "nuts" response for MacAuliffe (to reiterate to the Germans at Bastogne).

That one got by me somehow. I did not know that; you learn something new every day.

Thanks for the info!

Write a book. That is important. Don't let Marxists like Kerry twist the Truth.

Dr. Bill Peters wrote a great book on 'nam. Lots of good guys have. Need to make sure the Truth is firmly established in history so that Marxists do not eradicate it. They will, if given the chance.. they will.

This may be where Ted is getting his material:

http://informationclearinghouse.info/article7468.htm

See "Terrorist Propaganda". This video is directed to the Europeans and condemns the US and Britain. I stumbled accross it while trolling through antiwar.com

That's got to be some leftwing Eurocoward with a bag over his head, there's no way in hell that's an Arab talking in that video. Sounds a bit like an Irishman.

I believe you are correct, however Eisenhower sent the 1st US troops to Viet Nam.

I know a vet who was in Viet Nam in 1957.
At that time the Eisenhower administration would not let our forces there have loaded weapons.
They were told to let the South Vietnamese defend them.
