Some stuff to know about the Viet Nam war.
Before the war escalated, when it was advisors and non-coms,
the Americans were in charge of a project to make villages in
Viet Nam rebuild themselves inside wire fences, like concentration
camps, willingly, without being paid, and for no real reason.
The idea is that the NVN army could not draft soldiers from them.
Can you imagine someone coming to your town and forcing you
on your own time and dime to build a concentration camp where
you were expected to be our of in the morning and back into at
night.
How can that possibly be in line with spreading democracy around the
world. It was not, it was BS, and it was the most evil thing this
country has done, worse than slavery, maybe not as bad as the
native American genocide, but at least the Indians were able to
fight back.
The same things happened in the Korean war, but there was not a
news industry like there was at the time of Viet Nam. What a
dispiacable waste of 54,260 American lives, and as usual, we will
never get the true county of enemy or civilian deaths. The US would
bomb dams and flood towns and villages, against the Geneva convention.
Right after we wanted the world think there was such a thing as laws
during wartime, at Nuremburg, we violated everything the Allies supposedly
stood for. Rule of law ... what a joke.
