Comments by "Tespri" (@Tespri) on "The Truth about the Vietnam War | 5 Minute Video" video.

+Waltham1892 False, war ended on USA's part on peace. Peace that was forced due popular opinion that was against the war. USA was in reality very close to win the war. Now vietnam is a shit hole, thanks for hippies. Hippes gave viets enough power to slaughter southern vietnamese and establish corrupted regime, that even today makes people in vietnam suffer. "The war was lost because there was no way to win it." False, Literally every millitary historian agrees that war would've been won. The last push Viets did did exhaust all of their resources, it was basically their attempt to make public in USA think that they have no chance.

+Jesus Christ That's funny because most media outlets are leftist.

Waltham1892 "I'm sorry, but there was no way to win the war under the conditions it was being fought." IT was, the last push viets made was last ditch effort. They were losing men and ground. "We would not invade the North and not attack supply routes or ships bringing military supplies to the North. " You need to study some military history. Victory was actually pretty close. "This meant that as long as the North was willing to fight, the war would go on." Wars aren't run by will. They are run by stomach and money. "With the war so unpopular in the US, that wasn't an option for us." That is all thanks to leftist and hippies. Now look how south vietnamese suffered because of these "peace" loving idiots.

Jesus Christ You really think there is statistics how many media is left or fight. Just look at all the mainstream media most of them are left.

Jesus Christ O'reilly is fox news. Are you saying that USA has only 2 media outlets?

Jesus Christ washington post, guardian, new york city time, BBC, , comcast, time warner, news corps, viacom. Yes bbc is british but it has been posting a lot online and people citating them. ABC news, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC. Los angeles times, USA today, time. But hey let's not that you never mentioned anything about your sources for claim that OP is under propaganda. Double stantards much?

+Than Nau Aww, I take it that you're north vietnamese? Because south vietnamese pretty much all disagree with you. Let's not forget the extermination you did commit on south after taking it over. And how people had to escape from country if they disagreed with communism. And how lot of modern and old media in your country glorified the victory over south. Such unification of a country... Trampling on rights of others and laughing on their face when they lost their loved ones.

Jesus Christ Clearly a claim. Taunts can be made in form of claims. Like your mother is a hamster. Now I taunted you and claimed that your mother is a hamster. Now the fact is, current media is favoring left.

+Kolton Whitmire it's historical fact that USA was close to win vietnam war. However due idiots like yourself and some hippies, they thought that they couldn't win it. Pretty much every military expert and historian knows that vietnam war would've been won if USa wouldn't be forced to back off because of the general public. So good job, because of people like you, people in vietnam currently live in poverty and many intelligent and well educated people got executed.

+Steven Reynolds And? Civilian casualties happen in wars. It's unavoidable.

Holly Boo "wars used to be fought outside of population zones. " Rofl and what war was that? War in fairytown? " the militaries would meet and engage each other any civilian deaths were deliberate raids against the population." It's easy to do that only when both parties agree to fight like that. But when your opponent uses guerilla tactics and uses civilian areas as their hideouts, then it no longer works like that. Something that you probably never bothered to consider. It's very common of guerilla fighers to use civilians as bullet vests. "1 in 50 deaths are the suspect. the rest are civilians. how about stop bombing people. that would work just.fine" Yeah stay naive and stupid and think that world would be perfect place if you ignore people who slaughter others for fun.

Waltham1892 "the Vietnamese needed little more than food and ammo. " Again, money and food. Neither of them lasts forever. "Considering the level of support they had among Vietnamese civilians (or the support they could compel) a significant portion of their needs could be met by local supply." Can't last forever. Locals will eventually run out and want to have some for themselves too. "As for money, why would they need money? " Payment for equipment, upkeep, wages for solders, there are plenty. " The Russians weren't selling them equipment, they were giving it to them free." They still need to ship them, and again wages, plus Russians won't produce them forever either.

great sage equal of heaven "How can the Vietnamese be aggressors in their own country?" Because of civil war the country was spilled into two. Or are you saying that there is no north korea and south korea? "The United States was the aggressor. The US attacked and invaded South Vietnam. " Nope, it never did. USA was helping south vietnamese to fight against north vietnamese.

Howl He is regressive liberal. He doesn't even know what being liberal really means. He doesn't give a shit individuals freedom. Modern american liberals are far from what liberal actually meant. But yeah, they try to defend socialism and communism no matter what those ideas have done to the world.

***** You're ignorant when it comes history and warfare.

Waltham1892 I have never watched rambo movie. I never simply cared for it. "But they wouldn't surrender. Not to French and not to the US." They still had money, food and troops, why would they?` "As long as the North Vietnamese fought and had safe havens, they couldn't lose. They just had to wait us out." There is a limit how long they could run wars. As I said, armies run on money and food. Without them they will disappear.

Waltham1892 if I would be 16- year old. Then I would be glorifying communism as much as you do.

great sage equal of heaven "It was actually the United States and its GVN client regime who violated the peace treaty" Really so they violated peace treaty by getting of from vietnam? Wow... Such excuses.... "The United States government even announced that it would disregard every essential provision of this treaty, and proceeded to do so, " So that is the reason to conquest neighboring country? HAHA excuses from communists regimes get even more retarded than ever. Hey at least you didn't bomb shit out of your own village so that you could declare war on small country, like soviet russia did. xD " and proceeded to do so, attempting again to conquer South Vietnam," South vietnam was the one against communism. Why would USA try to conquest it? And if North was so worried over south then why did it keep it and enslave people in south? The fact it. North Vietnam was aggressor against south. And later conquested it and subjugated and enslaved people living there. Worst yet, you're defending this people... You make me sick.
3
great sage equal of heaven "The USA was "helping" the South Vietnamese in the same way the Soviet Union was " If it was "helping" like you say, then please explain south korea. Where Usa was also helping. You should stop believing leftist propaganda that never admits that left has done anything wrong.

***** It was war and military target that was near civilians. It ended up the war on that spot and hence, they actually ended up killing less than not by nuking them. And again, japan started the war. You're saying USA should've bended their ass and let japan conquest them?

+Oisín O'Driscoll "Oh yeah, because Ngo Dinh Diem's government was a liberal democracy" At least it didn't execute every intelectual and highly educated person who didn't agree with communism. At least VN was better of under their rule than under current one that even today has corruption so deep that normal citizens basically have no rights at all. Even police will come and steal money of their citizen. You thoug police brutality is bad in USA? Now imagine VN where they beat you, steal your money and no one gives a shit if you report.

***** So did you change your mind? If not then I don't consider myself as victor. You can hate USA all you want, but at least hate it for real reasons, instead of made up ones. Because your initial bias against USA, you will accept any non-sense claim against it. Try to be bit more skeptic, and again I'm not defending USA.

Oz Zaa I study history daily, it's one of my passions. It's pretty likely that I know 10 times more than you about history. Also you failed to address anything I said.
