Walter Cronkite's Ridiculous Spin on the 1968 Tet Offensive in South Vietnam

[Robert W]

An even better question is: When did North Vietnam threaten us in any way?

North Vietnam agreed to not attack the South. Americans then left Vietnam. And 2 years later North Vietnam broke the agreement they made.-

We left Vietnam 2 years earlier. It did not threaten us, it conquered S. Vietnam.

The Communists conquered South Vietnam because most Vietnamese wanted them to.

 

[Robert W]

The Communists conquered South Vietnam because most Vietnamese wanted them to.

Actually had the South wanted them to invade, the North never would have invaded.

They sure did. The Americans knew the NVA would, eventually.

Ho ignored nothing moron, the Southern puppets and their US handlers did because the knew they would lose.

yes he did you illiterate cretin

tell me when he was elected???????

You cannot because he never was and THAT is ignoring the agreement to hold elections

you are one stupid fool. The US ignored nothing because they were not required to hold election

You ignorant asswipe

 

[Soupnazi630]

I know, it's quite incredible, it comes down to arrogance that the US can never be wrong about anything, it takes a bigger man to admit they got it wrong, sad to say they still have the same arrogance with all the illegal wars they have been involved in since Vietnam and all the horror inflicted on the World to this day.

Vietnam was legal you stupid fool as were the others since.

You suffer from that hubris you describe

You have been proven wrong but are too childish to adnmit it

 

[Soupnazi630]

What is sad is that there are still Americans who think the War in Vietnam was justified.

Those are the informed and intelligent americans

 

[Hector12]

Those are the informed and intelligent americans

In what way are they informed and intelligent Americans?" How was Vietnam important to our security?

 

[Hector12]

You are not impressing one with your emotional and vulgar behavior.

The guy is a deluded maniac living in some Truman show version of reality.

 

[Soupnazi630]

But i am stating facts proving you wrong

 

[Soupnazi630]

keep the goal posts in one place.

We were talking about justified

 

[Soupnazi630]

The guy is a deluded maniac living in some Truman show version of reality.

Yet smarter than you and correcting your fiction

 

[Hector12]

keep the goal posts in one place.

We were talking about justified

OK, how was it justified to try to keep a Vietnamese leader from coming to power in South Vietnam that the vast majority of the Vietnamese supported?

They did not support him

Stopping the spread of communist tyranny is always justified

We did not stop him from Siezing power but from invading a foriegn nation which was our ally

 

[Hector12]

What if most of the people in a country want a Communist leader? They did in Vietnam.

Your claim is fiction.

The war in Vietnam was always about National liberation than anything, the Vietnamese fought the French Colonialists and defeated them at Dien Bien Phu, they fought against the Japanese then the US Imperialists, the National liberation front or the Viet Cong to you ignorant clowns were South Vietnamese, it was always more about Vietnamese Nationalism than Communism, General Giap was the mastermind in defeated those foreign thugs.
Suck it up.
