Yes, well it would seem that the Nuremberg trials were a complete farce and had no basis in German law. Not unlike the suggestion that the Vietnam war constituted some sort of crime against humanity. Fancy trying the Amerikans for killing over a million people - what about the Viet Cong? What about Ho Chi Minh?
After all, they waged their war on Vietnamese soil, thus putting millions of Vietnamese lives at risk of Amerikan bombs, daisy cutters, flame throwers, claymores, landmines, hand grenades, bullets, nepalm and good old fashioned cold steel.
Typical.
And look at them now! They are stitching Amerikan brand name shoes and garments for the Yankee Dollar. Fooking patriotik, like.
Spoken like a true draft-dodger. Flat feet, eh, son?
You’re goddamned right. After all that, and the little yellow bastards decide to work for Uncle after all.
Jesus Christ, to think I spent the best years of my youth
fighting for Vietnamese freedom, and now this. Not only Nikes, old son, Starbucks smacking coffee beans.
None of us are young anymore.
Those who fought for South Vietnam actually did the exact opposite.
They fought for the continuation of Colonial rule in Vietnam.
A corrupt puppet government, aided and abetted by the USA.
Ho Chi Minh was the one fighting for Vietnam for the Vietnamese.
As I stated earlier, he even asked the US for aid in getting the French
out of Vietnam, but was refused.
The USA's irrational fear of communism prolonged a war that could
pretty-well have been avoided altogether, or at least minimised.
That should give the trolls something to think about.
BTW, it's ALL there in the history books, it's not just opinion. And
no, I'm not providing links to books I read 20+ years ago.
