The irony of the Vietminh soldiers right at the start...

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2004)

Not that anyone really gives a cheney, but has anyone besides me noticed the irony of the Vietminh soldiers right at the beginning: - "[the Viet Minh look down on wounded French soldiers] Viet Minh Sergeant: Do we take prisoners? Nguyen Huu An: No. Kill all they send... and they will stop coming. " - Well, they did keep killing most all that they sent, beginning with the Japanese, then the French, then finally the Americans. And, sure enough, they eventually stopped coming. Oh, to be sure it took awhile. The better part of thirty years. But the did stop coming. The American part of the debacle would not have been necessary in the first place had we not interfered in their civil war. And, yes, that is what it was, a CIVIL WAR.
