Ho, Chi Minh,

Are you sure? I was in Ho Chi Minh recently and it was in the SOUTH...why would the South name the city after him if he was so bad?

“Ho, Chi Minh,

Are you being sarcastic or real? There is no “South” anymore. The North invaded the South when we pulled out and now the whole country is communist. Citizens of Saigon had no choice in naming the city.

I remember some joke from the past to the effect that after the photo the VC used a lot of bleach and steel wool on the barrel.

It was funny then and now.

You’re serious?

“I was in Ho Chi Minh recently and it was in the SOUTH...why would the South name the city after him if he was so bad?”

For the same reason that pennies in Dixie have Lincoln on them. For the same reason that a three dollar bill in the near future will have Obama on it.

That's funny. That is what I would expect to hear from young (or old these days) misinformed people.

Naps, you might want to do some research before posting. Ho Chi Minh was a Communist leader of North Vietnam; Saigon, the capitol of South Vietnam, had its name changed to Ho Chi Minh city shortly after it was captured by North Vietnam. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Minh

This is sarcasm, right?
