General Giap, Vietnam's master guerilla, dies aged 102

[Godboy]

Giap was the greatest guerilla leader of the 20th century, and he defeated the French and the USA.

Eagle is in mourning.

He defeated the US? Do you have any idea how many lives were lost under his command? The American kill ratio was nothing short of amazing. He wasn't a great gorilla warfare expert, he merely sent fuckloads of men to their deaths. We were damn good at killing Vietnamese soldiers.

Read: Following Ho Chi Minh; Memoirs of a North Vietnamese Colonel by Bui Tin.

This book tells the truth about the Transformation of North Vietnam to Communism including the mass executions and the consequences of General Giap's failure to win the TET Offensive.

If you not read the Book, you can not debate the issue. Don't bother responding until you do.

You have a problem with being to look at the man. Giap had no prior military training, and went to defeat the French and the Americans. Giap made life hell for the Japanese.

Giap was just as much a Patriot to his country (Viet Nam) as any American who fought in WWII or in Viet Nam.

The "American War" as it is called in Viet Nam was a continuation of the "French War".

You also choose to ignore the fact that Ho and Giap were Communists by convience. The U.S. refused to suppport Ho after WWII (Ho was an operative for the O.S.S. by the way).

The War in Viet Nam was a war of Unifaction. If Ho could unified Viet Nam with U.S. assistance he would have. The U.S. refused to assistance.

You need to past the end of you nose and appreciate the fact that as a General, Giap did the near impossible. It is a shame you cannot do that.

Oh please. Ho, Giap and that whole crowd were nothing more than mass murdering communists, just like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Mugabe.

Oh, you mean like the murdering, freedom loving, flag waving, apple pie eating, girl you fucked back home Americans of My Lai?

Get fucking real.

My Lai was minor BS compared to the atrocities that were part of the routine VC/NVA method of operations. What about the Hue massacre?
