I think there are a "few" others who might share my opinion of the VietNam war; especially those who served during that time.

I did my duty. Did you?
Yes, I raised a great soldier, Tater Peeler

Historically Ho Chi Minh was our ally in WWII against the Japanese just like the Chinese were. The Japanese, as well as the Chinese, understood the value of of "Indochina" and like other "strategic" places from China to the Middle East, e.g. Afghanistan the real estate was considered valuable and/or natural resources.

The war was not administered as a war and run by the military, it was a political effort run by politicians and influenced by the "liberal" media coverage. Just like Iraq from the beginning ... in Bush I. The North Koreans and former NV military who went to Baghdad in the ramp up to the Bush I (and Bush II) efforts were there to explain how to defeat the U.S.

Excellent summary and I hope people can understand the nuance and the continuum of history.

It would be nice if you could stay on the same time-space continuum, JL/HK/DbD/BJ, etc.

What the fuck does that even mean, dildo? You did your duty by getting laid once ... If at all?

That you trained him/her? That you imbued him/her with his/her Daddy's acuity?

I feel SO much safer knowing that!

It's obviously apparent many on here don't. For a variety of reasons, I'm sure, but intertwined in the "reasoning" is the FACT they don't want to deal with the current realities and chose instead to attempt to rewrite history so they can "avoid" making the hard and painful decisions to avoid history repeating itself.

I was hoping that our excursions into Iraq and Afghanistan would create a different image of the U.S. from that generated from the retreat from S.E. Asia and that countries around the world would respect the U.S. rather than dismiss the U.S. as being gutless. But the gutless had to elect an unqualified person who prefers to wrap himself in a white flag while attempting to wrap his critics in a white sheet in an effort to silence them.

And his sheep on here are following suit ... like good little salesmen.

Apparently, you believe that one must be standing knee deep in shit to realize the pond is a bunch of shit. On the other hand there are some "sanitation engineers" who can determine from the edge that it's shit, but for one reason or another they are tasked with wadding in to determine just how thick the crust is or how deep it is in the middle of the shit.

So what difference does it actually make to you whether I was observing from the "bank" or from the middle of the pond of shit? If it's any of your business, which it is not. The problem you apparently have is you have neither perspective.
