duno, coral sea would know about what went wrong in vietnam pretty in depth.

What makes you think it went wrong? The Vietnamese kicked out a puppet government, got control of their own country and developed to become an industrial/food bowl/tourism economy in the space of 30 years.

The Vietnamese Communist Party have their problems, but it sounds like a success story to me.

its probably easier to fight wars than your enemy, even without luxuries such as iq screening practices and equipment designed and constructed in the past 20 years, if you're willing to suspend scruples as much as humanely possible. not that the u.s army is exactly an ethical paragon, itself.

The US were hardly willing to suspend scruples in Vietnam, Imperium.

You blacks with your criminal music are bringing down our proud German culture. You and your tinted kind have always been the enemy. Your very purpose is to be the enemy. We never ever should have given you your freedom. Ever.

You bring down real estate values. Economics, innit. We have superior values.
