Your dad is a very good man.

The sad truth is that the South Viet Namese and American military and their Allies who fought together against the communists, for a good cause, were only pawns that were used to further the capitalist bastards agenda. It continues today all over the world, only to keep the rich in control over the poor and uneducated. The rich historically fund both sides in war and capitalize from the profits.

[lucirz]

@Sisulu vietnam was always involved in wars, and the damage from each war piles up, so it's much harder for us to rebuild, and also we did not have time to rebuild... vietnam was in much worse shape than japan economically, not to mention that japan was already richer than us to begin with, so they more able to rebuild...

[lucirz]

@Sisulu are you really that stupid? the japanese were able to rebuild so fast yes partly due to the fact that they were not communist, but also because they already had alot of western influences and technolgy before the war. also they were not involved in constant wars like we were. vietnam fought against the french, we were involved in battles in laos, cambodia, we fought the chinese in little battles in the mid 1900s also, then we fought the americans.
