Vietnam's General Vo Nguyen Giap dies
How many liberals and anti war activist will be mourning the death of Gen. Giap ?
>" Vo Nguyen Giap, the Vietnamese general who masterminded victories against France and the US, has died aged 102.
His defeat of French forces at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 effectively ended French colonial rule in the region.
He was North Vietnam's defence minister at the time of the Tet Offensive against American forces in 1968, often cited as a key campaign that led to the Americans' withdrawal.
Gen Giap also published a number of works on military strategy.
He was born into a peasant family in the central Quang Binh province of what was then French Indochina.'<

Liberals who fought in Vietnam might well mark the death of a warrior opponent without mourning him. Can you deny he was a patriotic hero?

Actually, all of us should. Keep an eye to the future, not the past. Today's reality is that the Vietnamese are warming to us. This is primarily because of the Chinese dominance in the region and the push and pull over the South China Sea. We should take advantage of every chance we have to make friends in the region, forgive past offenses, and create partnerships.
The first US ship to pull in to Vietnam, since the war, happened a few years ago. We need to keep this trend going.
Don't forget the Vietnamese and the Chinese also fought a war just years after we got out of there. We have common interests.
He ordered the systematic murders of South Vietnamese teachers, community leaders and intellectuals. He allowed American POW's to be tortured and murdered, if not directly ordered it to be done. He was a mudering, Communist piece of ****, not a patriotic hero.
Gook hates gook.

The Vietnamese and Chinese are natural born enemies with each other. Gook hates gook.
The war clouds are already forming over the South China Sea. The objective are the oil rich Paracel and Spratly islands that Vietnam, the Philippines and China all claim.
While our navy is being dumbed down and rusting in port unable to put to sea and fight, a naval war is brewing in the South China Sea.
... the United States didn't exactly play nice in our Asian theaters of war.
That's the question I'm asking, how do liberals feel about the death of Gen. Giap ?
John Kerry is a liberal, can you deny that John Kerry was a patriotic hero of Communist Vietnam ?
Today Vietnam looks at Kerry as being a traitor to his own country even though Kerry was an ally of North Vietnam during the 70's.

Keepin' it classy.
Not much of a war. China has nuclear weapons. Having such devices puts you into an entirely different class.
what do you mean?
the my lai massacre?
taking two suspect VC for a ride in a USA huey with ROK soldiers on board interrogating them mid flight ... pushing one out the door to his certain death in order to prompt the other to talk
or maybe the napalm and agent orange
not like we need to be ashamed of such acts of inhumanity [/sarcasm]

Did we seek out and execute school teachers and doctors, as a matter of policy?
The word "gook" is a U.S. Marine slang word, believed coined during the Barbary Pirate wars and used off and on for almost two hundred years in reference to any person, place or thing that is strange or not American. During the 1970's a white beard scratching liberal who never served in the Corps would use revisionism and create a PC definition for the word and label it as a derogatory term.
The libs did the same thing with the definition of what an assault rifle is.

Show me one country in Asia that likes the Japanese (due to WW2).
Also show me one country that likes China (other than China).
