Tribute to Australians who served and died in Vietnam

Good tribute to the tough guys that were in Vietnam,

From your friend and allies in North America

Considering they fought in South Vietnam FOR South Vietnam. Cretin.

well, thankfully they did a piss poor job.

This is no Bullshit!  Yes I would.

I knew a Soldier too, Aussie. Who on his 21st Birthday a young Vietnamese boy about 7 yrs old, ran toward him with a grenade, pulled the pin. He had to shoot him, to spare his own life. Who is evil now??

the question is would you shoot the boy and dont fuckin lie.

Most of the battles of the Aussies fought were in the bush, not in urban areas. Low civilian casualties.

Oh well, that's ok then isn't it. Everybody knows that it's ok to interfere with a countries political changeover, kill 4 million locals and then leave without having achieved anything. Just so long as the killing done is only moderate and not full scale slaughter of towns and villages. I tip my hat to you sir, you really should be proud of such men who would only kill a lower amount of innocent people, purely because of deployment staraegies made by the US (your bosses). yep, sterling job!

Korea, look I appreciate what you mean. I agree with your points, but I think that the situation them was a little more gray than that. There are some parallels that may have been drawn back then from the Korean War, which are reasonable.

The situation of Vietnam was as you probably know set up by the UN. They drew the line on the map dividing North and South, effectively making them 2 countries, much like present day Korea.

Whether it is you intention or not, you label the hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese of the ARVN with the same criminal allegations as those you've given to the Aussies and US. Obviously S VN was in a civil war supported by the North and Russia. Granted, the RVN government was totally corrupt and essentially a puppet.
