Today is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre

maggot;
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.

Your ' vet ' buddy says differently, maggot. You ought to collude and get your stories straight- like the My Lai perps.
Now fuck off.
 
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.
Now I see why your embassy 'friend' only tolerates you. You discuss how evil Americans were in a war that ended 43 yrs. ago while I drink beer, play cards and toast with them.
 
he incident prompted global outrage when it became public knowledge in November 1969. The massacre increased to some extent[10] domestic opposition to the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War when the scope of killing and cover-up attempts were exposed. Initially, three U.S. servicemen who had tried to halt the massacre and rescue the hiding civilians were shunned, and even denounced as traitors by several U.S. Congressmen, including Mendel Rivers, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Only after thirty years were they recognized and decorated, one posthumously, by the U.S. Army for shielding non-combatants from harm in a war zone

but WE are the government, so WE shunned those honorable servicement and WE called them traitors

Calley found guilty of My Lai murders


Lt. William L. Calley is found guilty of premeditated murder at My Lai by a U.S. Army court-martial at Fort Benning, Georgia. Calley, a platoon leader, had led his men in a massacre of Vietnamese civilians, including women and children, at My Lai 4, a cluster of hamlets in Quang Ngai Province on March 16, 1968.

The unit had been conducting a search-and-destroy mission to locate the 48th Viet Cong (VC) Local Force Battalion. The unit entered Son My village but found only women, children, and old men. Frustrated by unanswered losses due to snipers and mines, the soldiers took out their anger on the villagers, indiscriminately shooting people as they ran from their huts. The soldiers rounded up the survivors and led them to a nearby ditch where they were shot.

Calley was charged with six specifications of premeditated murder. During the trial, Chief Army prosecutor Capt. Aubrey Daniel charged that Calley ordered Sgt. Daniel Mitchell to “finish off the rest” of the villagers. The prosecution stressed that all the killings were committed despite the fact that Calley’s platoon had met no resistance and that he and his men had not been fired on.

Straw man, dupe. As I said- your assumptions conform with your delusion.

It's a ' national pride ' thing to want to see yourself as being buddies with the Vietnamese. Sad- but there you are.

They invited us. We didn't barge in on their party. You really need to get out more. The Skipper is right. Staying holed up in your parents' basement playing video games when not spewing shit you know nothing about on a message board is not good.
 
Executive Summary
https://www.lowyinstitute.org/publications/us-vietnam-relations-under-president-trump
Under the Obama administration, the US–Vietnam relationship expanded, especially in terms of security cooperation. China’s increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea has helped to warm US–Vietnam bilateral ties. The Trans-Pacific Partnership also offered Vietnam an opportunity to escape China’s economic orbit. But just as the hard-earned security rapprochement was starting to gain momentum, newly elected US President Donald Trump announced the US withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Soon after the rebalance to Asia was declared officially dead. Neither was good news for Vietnam.

Despite initial anxiety over Trump’s reluctance to engage with Southeast Asia, there have been some positive signs that the relationship will continue to prosper. High-level meetings have helped to reassure Hanoi that the Trump administration has an interest in deepening bilateral relations. President Trump’s attendance at the APEC Summit in November 2017 in Da Nang and a scheduled side trip to Hanoi will be important signals of how President Trump views what has become one of the United States’ most important emerging relationship in Southeast Asia.
 
No you did not. Lets address this: "Don't you have a Child Concern number to call ?". What exactly are you implying Moon?

Ah- there's the tough guy.

You said that you were "Soundly beaten and off to bed whimpering again."

I suggested that you called somebody to help you out.

Now what are you going to do with it, tough guy ?
 
There was a huge demonstration in Saigon against the Chinese, when I was there two years ago. The Spratly Islands are a huge issue for them.
do you know why the Spratlys are so important? Is it just territorial impingement by China, or does the Spratlys by themselves have some intrinsic worth ? *curious*
