[QUOTE=Seaspriter;330969]As a Vietnam vet, it's still hard to come to grips with the bizarre way we fought the war. Most don't know that by 1969 we were well aware of Mao Tse Tung's genocide of over 50 million Chinese. He was a brutal psychopath.

What is unfathomable to me to this day:
Why was the information not made public by the US government about Mao's vicious slaughter of professors, doctors, lawyers, priests and professionals to show the folks at home and our boys dying in the jungles that this war really was worth fighting?



The Viets and Chinese have been fighting for hundreds of years. Chinese are packed into Cholon the largest ghetto in Saigon. Beyond selling the Viets a lot of arms and ammunition (including thousands of carbines and 105 mm guns) they have no connection. They fought two wars on the common border (The Viets won both easily) after we left and are about to have a really big one over oil off the coast of VN.
