What a bunch of horseshit. 10 years later, 50,000 US dead, 100,000 wounded, 3 million Vietnamese dead. BS
i saw a show that talked a lot about Hochi Minh (sp?). For all the negative that we heard about him, he wasn't just some lunatic. Yeah, he was fighting for communism, but that wasn't really his main thing. He just needed their numbers (sort of like North Korea did in that war).

He wrote a letter to LBJ wanting to negotiate peace well before the shit hit the fan in that war. The letter never got to LBJ.

I call bullshit.
You defended your statement for days after you made it. Just how many days were you drunk?
You only played the drunk card after you got backed into a corner and had nowhere else to turn.

What was really amazing was he will always be known in history about the Vietnam War, but he goes way back to attending the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI when he was young. Stayed in Paris and caught the Commie bug. Not only defeated the US in the 60's/70's but France a decade before that.
