Got this from a friend:

There is no doubt in my mind that there are quite a few of us that knew this before and know it now:

General VoNguyen Giap

General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote
is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi:
'What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi . You had us on the
ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender!
It was the same at the battle of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it.
But we were elated to notice your media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in
America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!'

General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam
war was not lost in Vietnam — it was lost at home. The same slippery slope, sponsored by the U.S. media,
is currently underway. It exposes the enormous power of a Biased Media to cut out the heart and will of
the American public.

A truism worthy of note: . . . Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life.
Fear the media, for they will distort your grasp of reality and destroy your honor.
 
Excellent reminder, Raptor!

Then, as now, there were enemy agents in our midst, pretending to be American but actually on a mission of deception.
 
Thanks, ole chap.

Regarding Darth, what specifically, causes you to zero in on Darth the way you do ?

I got some info on him from a friend. Turns out he isn't who he says he is. The clue's in the name he chooses to post under.

Yeah, we needed to keep our troops there even longer so more Americans could die in vain.

Here's a shocker. Snopes this story. FALSE. It sounded fishy because it originates with a RW tard
 
We could have had "peace with honor" (Nixon's campaign promise) if only Tricky Dick wouldn't have burgled the Watergate hotel

^ *insert large amount of satire into every word above* :rolleyes:

This is also from that Snopes article!

It's possible that the apparently apocryphal General Giap statement is based upon a misattribution of somewhat similar sentiments expressed by other political or military figures involved in the Vietnam War. For example, in 1995 the Wall Street Journal published an interview with Bui Tin, a former colonel who served on the general staff of the North Vietnamese army, that included the following exchange:

Q: How did Hanoi intend to defeat the Americans?

A: By fighting a long war which would break their will to help South Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh said, "We don't need to win military victories, we only need to hit them until they give up and get out."

Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi's victory?

A: It was essential to our strategy. Support for the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.

Q: Did the Politburo pay attention to these visits?

A: Keenly

Q: Why?

A: Those people represented the conscience of America. The conscience of America was part of its war-making capability, and we were turning that power in our favor. America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win.

Q: What else?

A: We had the impression that American commanders had their hands tied by political factors. Your generals could never deploy a maximum force for greatest military effect.

I have been to Vietnam twice including last February and my daughter-in-law is from Saigon. The Vietminh treated people in Saigon very badly for a decade or more before they wised up and realised their brand of Communism was destined for the scrap heap of history.

Fine and dandy. The point is that these RW tards forward any bullshit they come across in their chain emails or other inflammatory RW site. No concern for the actual truth.

Did you also notice the comment of the "conscience" of America?
