#1 Danger - Cognitive Hazard

Show this to some 70's era leftie and watch his head explode trying to explain it. Do not attempt this in elevators, subways, or any other confined areas where other human beings are present.

#3 Think we can send Kerry? After all he has SO MUCH military experience.

And he's been to vietnam before.

Maybe he could show them how to burn down villages...

#4 Show this to some RIGHTY, watch THEIR head explode. (My head exploded when the Economist ran an article a decade ago announcing the return of American Express and Coca Cola to Viet Nam.)

#5 The graphic expresses my feelings perfectly. The flashback was stunning. Two whole years in a microsecond.

Amazing!

Well, I hold no grudge against the Vietamese people.

More power to them on their march into the 21st Century.

#7 Kerry back in Vietnam:

1 Sunburn + 1 Mosquito Bite + 1 case of Diarrhea = 3 Purple Hearts and an automatic rotation back to the Land of the Big PX.

Through in a Silver Star for killing the Mosquito during hand-to-wing combat.

#8 You know, I suspect that when they asked for training consultants they didn't have J*hn Fucking K*rry in mind.

#9 #4 Show this to some RIGHTY, watch THEIR head explode.

Hardly. It only validates what the original effort was about, it just took the Commies in Vietnam time to figure that their system wasn’t going to work any better than it has in N.Korea. The Chinese figured it out by themselves before they were sucked down the economic blackhole that got Russia. Now the Chinese have a big economic lead on them and they’re concerned about Beijing’s historical hegemony behavior. Suddenly the tables are turned and now they are concerned, just as Johnson/Nixon were, about the same issues of regional expansion.

#10 I have a feeling about this. I'm afraid it'll be another... ummm... Vietnam.

#11 If there's anyone the Vietnamese hate more than the US, it's China. They've been enemies for going on a thousand years.

#13 Hmmm, didn't the North Vietnamese conduct an incursion into Cambodia to overthrow or stop the overthrow of that government and didn't they also conduct operations against Laos after the little border episode with China?

I also remember something about this little ship called the Mayaguez.

Regardless, warming relations with Viet Nam is a good thing in my book.

#15 True. It seems that was the Khmer Rouge.
