And what you "don't get" is your attempt to re-live the anti-war Hippie
days that you were too young to be a part of.

You turn 55 this year, tell me when was the last time you heard anyone
in person use those Hippie-era terms that you have brought back from the
60's-early 70's?

"liberate their country" "US *military*
occupation" "US mercenary army"
"Vietnamese Resistance" "occupation fo
their country" "turn Vietnam into a colony"
"US Imperialist" "liberation forces" "The
only patriots in this whole conflict where
the Vietnamese youth, workers and
peasants"

Not from your relatives or friends unless you have college age friends
playing Communists until they go out into the corporate world?

I haven't heard those BS quotes since my high school friends and I would
go to the nearby Ivy League University for outdoor concerts and anti-war
protests just to get the Hippies to buy us booze, smoke their dope and
try to bang a Hippie chick (unsuccessful but did get 2 out of the 3).

And guess where those Hippie Ivy League rich kids are today ~43yrs
later?
Well one thing is for certain they are not quoting Mao or Uncle Ho in
their corporate boardroom meetings.

Unlike you they have grown-up but you are still a 17yr old boy sticking
push-pins in a cork map.

Your grasp of history is bias by your theology (the NV Communists are
the liberators and heros in this conflict even though they broke a Peace
Treaty and *invaded* SV).

That theology has killed more innocent civilians in Genocides in the
20thC then Hitler could ever dream of.
Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, North Korea, etc.

I'm out of this with you but to paraphrase you "...the inability of
people like those on this list who grovel in their own form of self-pity
in a vat of blind, know-nothing ["Idealism"] sums it up nicely.
