Hanoi Jane says she's sorry for sitting on NVA AA gun during Vietnam war

[:) Smiley]

North Vietnamese patriotism was so high that it was inevitable, or at least the only other way the war would have ended is if everyone in Vietnam got killed. The war completely destroyed the infrastructure in the country and killed 10% of the North Vietnamese population.

And they kept going in the face of this destruction because?

Could it be that they glimpsed the possibility of victory by winning in American newsrooms and livingrooms?

How many more civilians died because the NV continued fighting no matter the human cost because of useful tools like Hanoi Jane who gave them hope that they could win while losing?

How many more civilians died when the North took over the South?

Shhh, nye. This is a a private moment between me and GP.

I'm reminiscing.

Oh. Well, carry on then.

Deja Vu shes been there done that and apologized already why the sudden news flash? Now if Kerry had actually apologized that might have made news.


OTOH the most important part of the news story was that she was all into 3 ways.

They would rather die than be subjugated by americans. That's the thing about a people's war, the most likely outcomes are either victory for the people, or genocide of the people.

The "war in the news rooms" was not an NV strategy... they reacted to it, but it was not initiated by them. They where focused on the war in the ricefields - winning over the korean population, and they largely succeded in that. That is where america lost, not "in the news rooms". The "news rooms" merey prevented america from fighting a battle it could not win (or possibly commiting the genocide that would ultimately be required to "win").

She apologized in 1988 at a time when New England vets ( You know? The soldiers che says were rooting for her) were disrupting a film project she was working on. I'm not aware that it has been offered again. So what is this thread about?

References?

As I recall it was not so much an apology as a mealy-mouthed leave-me-alone-it-was-a-long-time-ago excuse.

So what kept them fighting against the Chinese for independence for four hundred years? Did they think the Chinese would be beaten in the living room? They had been fighting for thirty years against the Japanese, French, and the United States. What makes you think they were going to give up if we invaded the North and started a war with the PRC and the USSR?

He was addressing me. And he was wrong.
