"American Aggression" Sorry I meant to get back to that sooner but what can I say I got busy with wife's 65th and other things.
War was never declared from what I recollect and well while travelling in Vietnam last year I kind of adopted their version of the name for what happened.
The French before did their best to break the Vietnamese spirit throwing political disadents into prison severly torturing them and exploiting the population for their own gain but then the French gave up. Americans came along after inheriting the situation and thought with their superior fire power they could defeat the will of the people but the Vietnamese again outlasted the aggressor uniting the country under one government crushing the corrupt military.
In the end it was a proxy war against the Chinese and Russians fought on someone else's soil.
Back to Napalm, was it dropped on Laos and the "secret" war in Cambodia as well?
The will of what people? There were lots of Vietnamese who didn't want to live under Uncle Ho. A lot of them died, spent years in "reeducation camps" and got the he11 out of there. A lot of them are in the US now. Communists always claim to be on the side of "the people." At least 100 million of them died under the tender care of their liberators in the last century.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
