In recent years the previous leaders of the north stated in no
uncertain
terms
that the TET was their last gasp. If it didn't run them off then the
North
would be dead. It was that close. News and Politics being driven by
Yellow news
turned out to be the guilty one.

It was one of those chilling interviews that I forced myself to listen.

Just about like the chilling war series on WWII.

'Too bad we didn't win. Then Vietnam could have been democratic and no
more
Americans would have been killed...just like Iraq.

Furthermore, the commies wouldn't have swept SE Asia, Australia, and
Japan,
and then wound up putting us in a pincer with the USSR on the other side.

If we'd only listened to you guys, we wouldn't be speaking Russian today.


Your satire is so wrong on so many levels...its a masterpiece Ed.
Bravo.

Except it falls down as satire on one key point, Gunner: It happens to be
the unvarnished truth.

Actually Ed..it fails in some many levels..because its spun dreck.

You really should consider submitting a resume to the DNC as a staff
writer.

Wait a minute, didn't Gus just say Vietnam was a Democrat war? That must
mean you were opposed to it, right?

I agreed with the war..just not how the Democrats fought it. They do
tend to **** up wars badly and require Republicans to get them out of
it. Unfortunately...the Democrats got themselves largely out of it and
millions died after we left. Dems dont believe in Peace with Honor.
They believe in Cut and Run, and be damned to those left behind.

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose
and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology
has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence,
and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years
.. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints,
and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been
as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
