"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.
Why is necessary to point out the French were very oppressive they imprissoned and tortured many Vietnamese who did not like their capitalism but managed to survive over a period of 150 years. (they were pi$$ed off when they kicked out the French, many in Ho's party spent time in what is known to the US as Hanoi Hilton in much more severe containment) Then the Americans became the aggressors taking over from the "Les Granuilles" wtf do you think they thought of those that supported the Imperialist capitalist supporters (who frankly had no choice)? Its not like the US is exempt from such behaviour on Their own soil, North American Indians have been subjected to similar actions?
Yup its the American Military Machine that wanted to test out their might against a people that were being substidized and I emphasize the prefix sub because the US and their allies had such superior fire power. Yet, you left and they won.
