When you defend a tyrannical communist government , I take that to mean you consider them your "pals".
Second, I find it ironic that the Left always brings up Calley; you practically have made him the poster boy for all American soldiers in Vietnam. Thanks to him, all of us have been labeled murderers and baby killers. Well, Calley WAS a failure and a disgrace, and yes, I'll throw in war criminal as well, because what he and his men did is definitely a war crime. Everybody remembers Calley. However, there WERE Americans at My Lai that day who did not commit atrocities, or stand there and do nothing while others committed mass murder. I never hear Hugh Thompson mentioned, and yet, he ought to be remembered by you, and everyone else, for what he did. I want to know if you or anyone else here remembers WO1 Thompson, because he represents the other side of the story of My Lai,and while we are telling the truth, we ought to tell ALL of it.
I defend the people of most any country coming up with popular self rule. That's what Vietnam was doing. That's what they've been trying to do for almost 1,000 years.
They wanted an election. They earned it. They helped fight the Japanese during WWII. They didn't get it. What they got was invasion.
That something you want to defend?
Cheers.
Are you really trying to defend the Communist North and their invasion of the south as a Democratic action?
Let's get real here. Ho was the aggressor. Ho invaded the south. Of this there is no doubt.
Why are we trying to spin this? Commie North vs sort of democratic south. Oh and btw, lets talk about all of this?
Part of the invasion of the south was based on the "whoopsies" we killed all the farmers in North Vietnam and we need the rice paddies in the south because we fucked up as commies always do.
The Cong offed all the farmers. Did you know that? I did. They blamed the farmers for a famine.
oh looky, global warming viet cong blaming the farmers for not forseeing a drought and a famine.
Lefties never change do they?
If you honestly believe the South was democratic, I've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn...
