............^^^ Your comparison to Hitler's invasions is idiotic.
General Giap was born when Vietnam was just one country.
It was the european colonial powers after WWII which artificially divided Vietnam into a North and South.
As a Vietnamese nationalist General Giap wanted Vietnam restored back to a single country as it was before colonialism.
Any freedom loving American should understand General Giap's patriotic motives........![]()
The "American War" as it was called in Viet Nam was a War of Reunifaction. Just like the "French War" was a war of Reunifaction.
Ho Chi Minn worked for and with the the American O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services) and against the Japanese Occupation of Viet Nam during World War II. Ho was a Nationalist, and became a Communist by Convenience when the U.S. and France refused to support a united Viet Nam.
For me, as a Veteran of the Viet Nam War it has always been more than ironic that Republicans who railed against Bill Clinton for his Anti-Viet Nam War stance, embraced bush43 who deserted his Nationals Guard Unit and his choice for Vice President Dick Cheney who was in fact a Draft Dodger.
These same Conservatives are currently name calling General Giap, a man with no formal Military Training who succeeded to defeat two modern armies.
