Our cause was noble, even if our choices sometimes weren't. But NVA was amoral tyranny. No serious discussion of the war can ignore that.

It doesn't surprise me that killing hundreds of thousands of people to keep a market open doesn't bother your conscience.

“Keep a market open?” Communism killed tens of millions. That’s what we were trying to stop from happening elsewhere.

Dan, did you really mean to invoke the Khmer Rouge as the "confreres" of the North Vietnamese, or did your finger slip?
