Well we were not fighting for liberty in Vietnam we were fighting to keep communism at bay. We did not care who we supported look at the shah etc. You cannot fight a decade long pointless war and expect the population to go along with you. If not for Vietnam, we could have changed the world so much ...

ww1 was one of the most pivotal events in the history of our species. ww1 created a world in which monarchy is not longer a major form of government, a world without a Kaiser in Germany or a Tsar in Russia. The fall of monarchy was not limited to these two countries. ww2 was just cleaning up after t...

Freedom is not imposed, it is our natural state and natural right. Only the absence of freedom must be imposed. Rights must be taken away by an oppressor, they are not granted by a values system or even by an invading army that removes an oppressor. These rights always exist. Recognition of that fu...

The idea that the Vietnamese supported the government in the south is even more laughable. They had their flaws, but millions of people did not flee the South Vietnamese government in tiny unseaworthy boats, or get put in re-education camps by them, or get massacred by them indiscriminately. The No...

I keep pointing out that LeMay wanted to wipe out the soviets atomic bomb capacity BEFORE they were able to use it. There would have been no nuclear exchange, nor would it have required "Gigatons" of bombs. From "Dark Sun, The Making of the Hydrogen bomb." by Richard Rhodes. (Page 347) So when LeMa...

Why didn't Haigpong Harbour get mined in '64 instead of 72.' Then they would have mainly needed to concentrate the bombing of bridges crossing the river from China or dropping minelets on them. I find it hard to believe it took 8 years to figure out that idea. Because mining is an operational level...

We were never in Vietnam to help anyone as your willingness to commit nuclear genocide demonstrates. Americas are individualist and do not understand that the communist may have lost more men but they won the war. The fact is people are basically animals and do whatever makes us feels good and gives...

The war on drugs does back to Vietnam and operation yellow stream. Drinking and the military is bad enough legalized drugs would take it over the top. Moreover, I would likely have a few bullets holes in me. You cannot control the men when they go off base. Making drug social expectable would be a v...

But I have never been a team player in the usual sense. I would die (soul wise) at a place like ITER or more likely be fired. In places like that boat rockers (why don't we do something completely different as a side project - this will never work) are never welcome. I hate committee work, and meet...
