Sorry but Ike and Nixon started the war when they refused to hold
elections because they knew Ho Chi Minn would win and not their puppet
Diem.

Yes, the Viet Minh, Viet Cong and the NLF were terrorists, and
terrorism works, doughnut?

Uncle Ho was backed by the Soviets and the PRC. Had there been AN
"election"—it would have certainly been the LAST election. Unless you
think the Il Duce of Hanoi had in mind some sort of benevolent, free
republic where the proletariat and the bourgeoisie would live side by
side in harmony?

No, Uncle Ho had been to Broadway and seen "The King and I." From that
time onward, he knew his destiny.

Too bad he had a pillow put over his head while he slept before he got
to realize that dream.

It always cracks me up when these stupid pissants talk about the election. A
free election in a communist country? It is to larf. Not that it would have
been any more free in the south. A big joke.

Viet Minh terrorists!!! What a laugh. By your definition so were the
Minute Men or "Blue Coats" of the American Revolution. I might buy
the term partisand but Terorist!! Even the official US Government
definition doesn't classify them as terrorists.

NFL? What did the National Football League have to do with the war?

First of all you need to spell out PRC because most people have no
idea what it means, and of course the Soviets backed Ho. When we
double crossed him and gave Indochina back to the French to bribe them
into the UN he went to who ever would help him.

Your proof of this is? Even Viet Nam today has regular elections and
theres at least 5 parties that I can think of. I believe I posted
their names a while back.

well we don't have that here either do we. Ho's Viet Nam is a typical
Asian government, no different than it was under the empress Nam
Phuong, emperors Thành Thá'i et Duy Tân or the last dynesty of the
(Chi D). Nguyens before the war. You also leave out the fact that
most of the Hue emperors did not control all of the north so you had a
residual issue left over there when the country was divided in half.

You really need to learn more about Viet Nam before tou go making
silly statments like that.

"Otis Willie" is one of many pseudonyms used by one Phil Coleman of
the "American War Library." AWL is a long-time internet scam
operation that goes by several dozen names. Coleman uses pseudonyms
and phony sites to harvest e-mail addresses which he re-sells.

Platoon, Hamburger Hill, and Apocalypse Now were my favorite
Vietnam War films.
The all conveyed my personal experiences in Vietnam as a
tremendous ADVENTURE , HIGHLY EXOTIC, scary, emotionally
tulmuotuous,very patriotic, very maturing, unappreciated,
and very arduous experience.
