I believe we should not under estimate these people.

Nor over estimate by taking their bluster at face value -
BTW: A lot more Americans than 53K died in Nam. That is just the propaganda number. Small graves registration sites were processing the entire announced monthly casualty number in 67-68. ‘No living relative, no death’ policy of Westmoreland’s - ‘body count’ is everything propaganda.

and I agree to an extent. I guess my take is biblical.
Those who do not recognize God and His creation have no value on human life. Communist China has roughly 1.2 billion people. Sacrificing a couple of million in order to achieve a goal means nothing.
Think of it like this. Mexico invades Texas and renames it Nuevo Mexico. Sets up a government, a standing army and flies the Nuevo Mexico flag.
Americans would never stop until they drive the Messy-cans out of Texas. Chinese communist feels the same way.
