What do you know about the Vietnam War?

LBJ's plan apparently centered on giving up American lives to take real estate and and going back to base for beer parties. Just when the V.C. was finally out of troops and options, LBJ gave up the fight on national TV.

Allowing These Immigrants Was an Insult to Vets

The Boat People were Chickenhawks. The South Vietnamese were cowards, crooks, and collaborators. Defending that trash made us lose the war, which never should have been nation-building but strictly to destroy North Vietnam.

Not all of them were chickenhawks. When my mom was still alive she used to go to the local Community Center as part of a Senior Lunch program. She met a lot of retired Vietnamese folks who fought on the side of the South in the war. They told her war stores about fighting the North and proudly serving alongside US soldiers. They hated the Communists and to them, it would always Saigon and NOT Ho Chi Minh City!

When San Jose created a Vietnamese shopping center and neighborhood, they were originally going to call it "Vietnam Town" and not "Little Saigon" due to an excess of PC. There were protests and a hunger strike that forced the city to change the name.

Yeah, so?

I was referring to the dictators running the country
