You posed the absurd comment above, out of sheer ignorance. You weren't there and know squat. Frankly, you were barely a pornographic gleam in your daddy's eye when the term Viet Minh went out of use. <br /><br />Viet Minh referred to the movement against the French, then the Japanese (when the Viet Minh were our allies), and subsequently again against the French...whom they defeated in 1954. In 1950 the PAVN was constituted from the Viet Minh as a regular army aka ... Quan Doi Nhan Dan Viet Nam, who sponsored the NLF aka Viet Cong in the south. The term Viet Minh ceased to be used by the North Vietnamese, or anyone else, after 1954....however it was retained as Khmer Minh by Cambodian opposition to Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Minh eventually joined the PAVN in invading Cambodia and defeating Pol Pot's regime. <br /><br />Why don't you talk about the thread topic and something you know about, instead of your jive ass off track chicken-shit nonsense...with all that bravado about risk, and danger and yada yada...until even a rock would weep.

He may have been incompetent, but at least Johnson's objective was decent. The Congress was motivated by nothing but political fortune, unencumbered by character, or a sense of duty or decency, and they abandoned millions who trusted them, based on a clear promise. They voted to make this country a shell of what it was before.bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-8175333018990850932014-04-17T14:35:19.046-04:002014-04-17T14:35:19.046-04:00"Are the two terms synonymous?"

My own review - admittedly incomplete - is that the responsibility for the disaster in Southeast Asia ultimately lies not with the protesters, draft dodgers, and lying reporters but with one evil man -- our democratically elected commander-in-chief, the "peace candidate" of 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson.Meadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117933390338651739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-38983033737357459072014-04-17T14:32:03.394-04:002014-04-17T14:32:03.394-04:00If the real enemy was the "Viet Mihn," ...If the real enemy was the "Viet Mihn," then that sort lets the "Viet Cong" off the hook.

Resisting.<br /><br />I'd draw an analogy to being "anti war" in 1967. <br /><br />There were those who only bitched about Vietnam and the draft — analogous to bitching about federal income taxes being immoral or unconstitutional, etc., but making no personal sacrifice and taking no risk or action.<br /><br />There were those who bitched and thought U.S. policy was wrong but avoided the draft... by going to college (deferment), claiming C.O. status, or by enlisting in a branch of the military where they would predictably not be sent to Vietnam.<br /><br />Some bitched and evaded the draft... by seeking asylum in Canada and elsewhere.<br /><br />And then there were those who didn't bitch, avoid, or evade. They either resisted the draft by facing prison for civil disobedience, joined the Communists and fought against the U.S., or believed the U.S. policy was in fact moral, constitutional, and correct and enlisted to help defeat the Viet Minh. <br /><br />Personally, I have no respect for the first groups and all respect for the last.Meadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117933390338651739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-32065455699654127342014-04-17T09:37:40.189-04:002014-04-17T09:37:40.189-04:00WHY ARE SOME OF YOU USING YOUR REAL NAMES?!WHY ARE SOME OF YOU USING YOUR REAL NAMES?!AllenShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848966772462502893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-89088994705149188872014-04-17T09:27:23.603-04:002014-04-17T09:27:23.603-04:00Most definitely not.
