“Does she have any nice stories about the benevolence of Ho Chi Minh?”

As I suspected, you were making a personal attack but I was giving you a chance.

My wife was in Saigon, not Hanoi. She knows the difference.

Don’t attack her for what I post. Too bad you don’t want to see the truth.

LOL! My wife had to hide in the rice paddies at night and walk over spent casing to get back to her house.

One night her neighbor’s entire family ‘disappeared’.

Her class went from 62 to 38 one year and no one had any idea where they went and no one even discussed it.

Most were Buddhists but the hid their religion. If a government official came to you, you were asked your religion. For your safety you replied either none or Catholic.

Did I deny there was corruption in South Vietnam? No, I did not. Did I make any disparaging remarks about either you or you wife? No, I did not. I was simply curious why you wouldn’t couch your comments about obvious wrongdoing in the regime backed by the US with a mention of the worse abuses by the communists. Is there any government on earth that is free of corruption?

If your wife was in Saigon, I mean Ho Chi Minh City, then surely she knows of the killings of cilivians by the reds from 1945 through the Tet Offensive on on to the fall of the ROV.

Glad I could give you a chuckle, though I have no idea why.

So I was right. She did like Uncle Ho.

Probably because your posts are so dumb?

You might be right. But something tells me I might be dead waiting for any sort of negative remarks from you regarding the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the NVA, or the Viet Cong.

LOL! As if calling a person and his wife commie lovers is not a personal attack!

I never wrote that and it wouldn’t be a personal attack if I did. Drawing conclusions about your motivations based on your comments is not a personal attack. Saying I’m dumb and a sick puppy are. Since you’ve still made no negative remarks about the Communist regime but posted numerous criticisms of Diem and the ROV, I can only assume your wife liked Ho Chi Minh better than the alternatives.

Then I must assume you believe there was no corruption in South Vietnam and you are personally attacking me to get me to shut up.

Proudly, if the alternative was Đông Dương Cộng sản Đảng.

“Proudly,”

Really! You would have gladly carried off my wife’s classmates and neighbors for them to never be heard of again.
