@deathpunish2 Whatever dude! How's that bushman treating you? xD

[deathpunish2]

Why are the Vietnamese soldiers carrying AKS74u's when they were adopted in '74 and wouldn't be distributed. May seem kinda nit-picky but I'd like portrayals of my people to be exact XD

@nightstalkersasslt

Why is everyone obsessed with 'heroes'? It's purile. No disrespect to Day, i bet he doesn't consider himself a hero just did what he had to do.

[PICLex]

Wasn't Vietnam a terrible war. The Americans really worked hard at being bastards.

[KnifeAddic]

Tiny country lost thousands of lives. In the end they won their freedom. Lucky America did not pull out the nukes.

@seezarorest you \re right, i guess i never thought of it that way. thanks for opening my eyes

[seezarorest]

@justyoustupid Respect for people that dropped napalm, and more bombs than during second World War with a goal to brake the nation that fought for their land and freedom? The difference about American and Vietnamese soldier was motivation. Americans fought about returning to HQ to eat some stake, the Vietnamese were willing to sacrifice everything to beat the invader.
