You make it sound like the French are our belligerent friends who start barfights and use the buddy card to get you to stick up for them. I doubt it's that simple. I doubt we gave a Rat's Arse about France's reputation, or welfare, when we escelated Viet Nam. I imagine we were thinking about our own intrests.

While we have many reasons to hate the French- overpriced wines, clothes that don't fit American women, wet kisses from the only French guy I know- we cannot blame Viet Nam on the French. That was our fiasco.

Uh...that wasn't the funny part of the post, Nash.

"wet kisses from the only French guy I know" was supposed to be the funny part of the post, and it's true- my buddy Jon Marie, married to a typically spoiled American woman, likes giving me wet kisses on the lips- so wet, in fact, that my wife refuses to kiss me until I brush my teeth and gargle with Listerine afterwards- nut it's no big thing, it's a cultural thingie.

And the only reason he grabs my buttcheeks is to hold himself steady while he kisses me.

It's a cultural thingie. Really. It means nothing.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

The opposite of liberalism is conservatism, not fascism, feudalism, or tyranny.  Unless, of course, you are prepared to state that liberalism is equivalent to socialism...

GRUN it was a very stupid post ,you even managed to put de Gaulle in this nice try :)




-tronski- I give you a 10/10 ;)


Straffo,

Please note, in none of my posts did I state the US assistance to the french in viet nam was equal to the fre4nch involvement before 64.

I said the US provided military aid. I did not say we provided ground forces.  Mr Bill provided a nice little bit of information that confirmed it in his own post.

Quote:1950

Chinese, Soviets Offer Weapons to Vietminh

US Pledges $15M to Aid French: The United States sends $15 million dollars in military aid to the French for the war in Indochina. Included in the aid package is a military mission and military advisors.
End quote

I also said that that lbj was the main architect for the US main involvement in viet nam. Since he was president after kenedy was assasinated in 63 it would obviously be after the french left. Prior to his death, kennedy did send military advisors into the country but not a large number of them and not for actual front line duties as combat troops. It was lbj that did that.

Nothing in my post was intended to bash france. You inferred what was neither implied or stated.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Allright Maverick , I readed your post incorrectly so , and implied a lot.

In fact I was more thinking of the presence of US troop on Vietnam soil than the presence of millitary counsellor

That bumper sticker wasn't describing diametrically opposing philosophies - it was dealing with the absence of liberalism. The absence of liberalism is a key aspect of the three examples cited (certain periods of dark age Europe in certain locales).
