Didn't know that StrikeBack was a Vietnamese kinsman! I always knew that when you have an alpha Asian marrying a submissive white chick it just has to be a Vietnamese Those nerdy Chinese or girlies Korean just couldn't pull that off

Then again Strikeback's post just goes to show how the account of the war differs vastly depends on which side you are on, even among the Vietnamese themselves. At least we do agree on the nature of the Vietnamese people: unruly, aggressive bunch with a huge attitude vs foreign authority and a big tribal mentality. Frankly this aggressive drive is channeled very well during our numerous wars and now that peace has been restored this urge has not been suppressed. Just google Vietnamese street violence to see how they start fighting each other when there's no foreigners to fight.

Those of you who are interested in the war should also study the Mongol invasion of Vietnam and see the patterns of organized resistance that was repeated during the Vietnam war. Cool story: when the Mongols invaded, the King was scared shitless and summoned a gathering to discuss options of surrender. Instead, the elders present at the gathering told the king to man the fuck up and kill all dem Mongols horse-fuckers. By the meeting's end everybody was tattooing "kill the Mongols" on their arm and chanting the same motto. The commander-in-chief, cousin of the king, then wrote a fuck-long drama piece letter to address all his generals and soldiers, basically telling them they are a bunch of pussified fucktards for even thinking about peace and not preparing for war. This kind of propaganda tactics were again used extensively among the VCs to boost morale.
