@marvelmax03191 The North gave you the chance to leave their country and go home, didn't they?

[marvelmax03191]

@ailahtain Why? What did we do? Or do you not know what the Russians or the Germans have done in the past?

[marvelmax03191]

But that's not to say I don't have any sympathies towards them. It's very sad.

@yoohik We gave the North the chance to drop their guns. We warned them, just as we did the Japanese.

@marvelmax03191 You US came for your interest, killed Vietnamese people and made Vietnamese people killed each other, and use these herbicides to devastate the innocent... And you say you are not to blame?

[ailahtain]

USA is the only truly terrorist in the whole World! They must pay for all their crimes!!!

[Beatkpr]

easy solution. Stop breeding like rabbits.



[marvelmax03191]

very sad, but if you truly want to blame someone, don't blame us, blame Ho Chi Minh.

The communist authority in Vietnam always asks America for compensation for agent orange's victims but never mentions estates and properties illegally confiscated after 1975 when the authority forced millions of south Vietnamese labeled as counter-revolutionaries and capitalists go to reeducation camps, new economic zones, or escape Vietnam by boats, especially when the authority admits it as a big mistake and calls for reconcialition with "traitor" Vietnamese expatriates.

[VIETNAMSAIGON75]

This is just a propaganda for money conducted by the communist authority in Vietnam since there are more and more cancer and birth defect cases as a direct result from increasing pollution and abuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in Vietnam, not from agent orange, which toxicity should be reduced with time.
