France folded to a Nazi invasion and then did nothing to protect its Vietnamese colony from a Japanese takeover.We agree on damn little but on this we do. It was francophillian fuckstics that got us into that friggin mess and we owe the arrogant friggin frogs not one damn thing. If anything they owe us. Stupid fucking frogs. Fight with their feet and fuck with their face.It was a CIVIL WAR for control of Vietnam. South and North was created by Western Powers.After 1968 there was no insurgency, the viet cong were all DEAD. In 1975 the South was invaded by the North with 25 Divisions.We propped up a corrupt and inept South Vietnamese government for over a decade. We invested billions of dollars and 60,000 lives.That's what Democrats want us to believe because Democrats were the ones who refused to honor our promise to South Vietnam that we would provide air support if North Vietnam violated the peace treaty and invaded. When the North invaded in '74, the Democrats shamefully refused to authorize air support and handed the country over to the communists.
I recommend Philip Jennings' book The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Vietnam War.
We provided them with state of the art military equipment and training. Even then, they were incapable of winning.
It was a Civil War that we never should have interfered with
That Civil War should have resulted in 100,000 deaths. Because the Western Powers got involved, it killed more than 2 million
They were better off without us
It was the people of Vietnam who fought the Japanese and fought for liberation. When it was all over, the US sided with the French over an independent Vietnam
We had good reasons to do that.
