I am pretty sure most educated people realize that communist insurgents throughout history have slaughtered civilians and committed heinous war crimes.

The Bolsheviks burned down the church in my grandfather's village.....with the priest locked inside it.

The fire bombing of German and Japanese cities by Allied air forces in WW2 cannot be justified ethically.

I believe most liberals would like to see international institutions that hold war criminals accountable beefed up, aka the War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, et al. International law can always be improved and beefed up to put potential war criminals on notice.

However, I have never noticed conservatives showing even a slight interest in international law, or working with the international community to beef up war crimes investigation tribunals. The fact that a lot of conservatives were cheering for water boarding and the torture of prisoners actually wreaked havoc on or credibility as a nation committed to justice and the rule of law.

No. Welcomed. I've been there too. The wife and I were riding bikes in the countryside outside Hoi An when we passed a group of Vietnamese men sitting around drinking beer. They invited us to sit and have some with them. We had a great time with them. Everybody we met was wonderful. Would love to go back. Same here.

@moonbat : where do you get your information from? Ever been there? If so maybe they only 'tolerated' you because you acted like an asshole. :dunno:

They just wanted your tourist money. I'm friendly with a past Vietnamese embassy employee. You're one deluded dupe.
They have a vernacular name for ' forgive and forget ' tourists.

We drank their beer - on them. No money involved.
Another tailor in town fixed my broken watch band for free - wouldn't take my money. I woulda paid him $15.
That Vietnamese embassy employee only tolerates you. Like I do.

Calley went free after conviction on 22 murder counts.
The disgust America felt after this helped bring the wars losing end sooner.
America failed humanity.
America failed itself.

Yes Comrade; the communists have no blood on their hands in dumbfuck land where you an MoonBat wallow. :rofl2:
 
Whatever. At best the Vietnamese older generation are sympathetic with losers.
You sat around drinking their beer and discussing the war, of course.
Deluded creeps.

One miserable wrong fuck. About everything. The Palestinian people would be better off without idiots like him making them look stupid. Which they are not.
 
Losing is hard for you to take. I can understand your ' forgive and forget ' attitude. So can they.

What would have been a better way to engage the krauts during WWII?

You aren't qualified to be condescending towards the victors. Your false bravado reeks.

But you're excused.
It's an IQ thing.

You just don't have a clue, do you? The Vietnamese don't talk about the war, it is still too raw an issue for the older generation. The young ones don't want to know, they just want to get on and get rich.

Trump went to Vietnam. If i'm not mistaken we have a security agreement with them
Plus the big Bad guy in that region is China ( 10 dash line etc.)so it behooves Vietnam to partner with the the USA
as a counter to Chinese hegemony

Kerry and McCain.
I loathe McCains existence and will gladly see him dead, but he did the right thing "opening up" Vietnam
