Under Biden, the government no longer represents “U.S.” - it represents “T.H.E.M.”

Very old school - the enemy of my enemy is my friend - but in the long term trusting another Communist dictatorship can have adverse consequences later on.

Viet Nam will probably be a better ally and trading partner than Australia and New Zealand.

At one time in our history, with 1 or 2 exceptions, it was the best thing that could happen to a country to lose a war to the US.
Now it seems that winning one could be even better, if you add in the 10% to the Big Guy.

I wish my Brother was still alive, he was neck deep in the POW-MIA orgs. Everything I needed to know about the corruption within our government, he pointed me towards. What did he know? He would never say, but he was trained and was part of the forerunner of the NSA. He just gave me reading material, and asked me what I thought.

We left people behind after WW2, Korea, Vietnam and in later encounters. It was the burning passion that Ross Perot had, President GHW Bush was an enemy of the State. HE was the entry point for Clinton, GW, Obama and Biden. Total AH..... Bush that is.

Are there any opinions on this forum as to how many POWs were left behind and why?
Does anyone think there are still any alive there?

I think they have it backwards. Since RNVN kicked our asses, shouldn’t they be offering to strengthen OUR military? Or at least get some ladyboys from nearby Thailand to show us how it is done?

Monkey Werx said this morning that if Ukraine falls the US will need a new location for the Deep State. Perhaps Vietnam.
