Hell,back then our enemy didn`t want to kill us all.Today with an enemy that does the MSM & Dims still want us to surrender.

Truly amazing. I think this might say it all:
And they still don't get it. Folks like Peloser running over to Syria:


It is treason and I will call it treason. If they don't like it, they shouldn't give me a reason to say it.

Thank you for your service. It is greatly appreciated.

I got ammo in this keyboard. They say the pen is mightier then the sword. Well, that should make my keyboard a M203 grenade launcher. I will fight. Maybe, the Internet can get news out faster.

Like if something like Tet accord with the invention of the Internet. Folks could get the news out quicker and put an end to slander easier. Maybe, the Embassy gets a message out to the world that they had not been overrun and Kronkite goes down.

maybe?

“unemployed, disliked, ignored, forgotten, and eternally drunk”

That’s how the MSM and Hollywood characterized Vietnam veterans for years and years! And so I too wish the same fate upon them.

Well since Walter Crankcase is no longer in the MSM as a reporter it’s moot but there were/are other’s that fill his shoes ....

“Reid has no resolve. He thinks the war is lost.”

That’s far, far too kind to Reid. He’s really afraid that we’re winning, which will mean that he’ll personally lose.

Reid’s a traitor that puts his political ambition ahead of his concern for the interests of America. A true scumbag.

Giap's armies lost the '72 Easter Offensive and was rewarded by making the cover of Time



Giap does not try to conceal that the success of the final North Vietnamese advance to victory depended on the U.S. departure in 1975 and on the politically crippled position of President Richard M. Nixon. He also reveals the worry that surrounded the possibility of subsequent American reintervention in response to North Vietnamese offensive moves.

I have heard and seen that Giap quote many times. Does anyone know if this is really what is written in the book? Or is a ready for snopes.com story?

Communist North Vietnam’s first plan to cut Free South Vietnam in half at the Central Highlands and then make a run for the Capitol City of Saigon and victory...

...was STOPPED cold by our U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment in the Valley of Death known as the IA DRANG Valley of November 1965.

Years later...

WALTER CRONKITE undercut our heroic efforts by calling America’s TET Offensive victory a defeat on National TV.

Then after Sen. TED KENNEDY pushed a post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress into cutting off all our fundng for the then Free South Vietnamese to fight for their own Freedom with so very sadly came:

I ought to pick up that book soon, Sandy. The people in it are the same people (and their surrogates) who dissented and opposed the VN conflict, later to be rewarded with fame and power for walking on our dead and the Viet Namese we left behind.

After VN, back in school, I ran into a lot of 'em. They preached 'Moral Courage' to support their position against the war.


I answered back simply; I didn't have the 'Moral Courage' to run away.

Possible snopes material. Consider:

Ed Moise has already tackled this one [in a review of] Vo Nguyen Giap and Van Tien Dung, How We Won the War. Philadelphia: Recon Publications, 1976. 63 pp.

This book has been the subject of several unfounded rumors on the Internet. The first one began in the late 1990s. Supposedly, General Giap had written in How We Won the War that in the aftermath of the Tet Offensive of 1968, the Communist leaders in Vietnam had been ready to abandon the war, but that a broadcast by Walter Cronkite, declaring the Tet Offensive a Communist victory, persuaded them to change their minds and fight on. This rumor was entirely false. Giap had not mentioned Cronkite, and had not said the Communists had ever considered giving up on the war.

Several variants of this rumor appeared in 2004. In these, Giap is supposed to have credited either the American anti-war movement in general, or John Kerry's organization (Vietnam Veterans Against the War) in particular, for persuading the Communist leaders to change their minds and not give up on the war. Giap is sometimes said to have made this statement in How We Won the War, sometimes in an unnamed 1985 memoir. All versions of the rumor are false. Neither in How We Won the War, nor in any other book (the 1985 memoir is entirely imaginary), has Giap mentioned Kerry or Vietnam Veterans Against the War, or said that the Communist leaders had ever considered giving up on the war."

http://hnn.us/roundup/archives/16/2004/10/#8232

Of course, even if the Giap quotes are bogus it takes nothing away from the main point: the media helped pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
