@anvutrong6870 Might have to do with the North murdering or re-educating all of their opposition.

Feudalism vs Liberalism. Fascism vs Liberalism. Communism vs Liberalism. ... Next is Islam vs Liberalism and Nationalism vs Liberalism. I know where I put my money. Democracies might pussy out of wars, but democracy triumphs in the long run.

It is absolutely despicable how you invalidate the entire existence of Vietnamese people, who did not want to be ruled by the north vietnamese communists.

It was retreat, but not tactical.

So you think allowing democratic opposition and discontinuing a war when it stops being backed by the population, is "losing"? Being stubborn and tyrannical is winning? Well in the end, democracy won, despite of the tendency of democratic countries to discontinue wars.

Actually they failed without losing.

None of those people ever considers that the Vietnamese might not all want to be ruled by communist dictators it seems.

They gave up because of internal resistance. In a way they "lost", because the USA was a democracy allowing disagreement, while the USSR wasn't.

Because only the North and the Vietkong are Vietnamese?

@duylai2224 Of course people, who don't want to be ruled by communist dictators, are not vietnamese...

"Self determination" = being ruled by communist dictators? Well I see that the brainwashing has worked out. You identify the dictatorship with all of Vietnam. I rather have a puppet government, under which I am free than a puppet government, which wants to control my every thought.

@nhatphan7931 That's what every ten year old believes. Getting over the "America is bad" stage is a part of ones youth.

@frankscott1860 It's funny how important the position of that apostrophe is. You are not for self determination of the ibdividual. To hell with that. You are for the self determination of a people - whatever that means.
