First of all, I like the way you used this ridiculously ignorant thread to poke at the Vietnam War (which you apparently don't know much about). Honestly, how can you hold yourself on that pedestal when you say things like "yes you idiots you lost in vietnam whatever you can say". You pissed me off, I am about to make it rain:
-The country of Vietnam was taken under new leadership in the early 1950's. This new regime actually had the balls to quote the Declaration of Independence and talk about their plans for a great democracy. Obviously the Communist government that followed wasn't exactly what the said they would develop. The war was by no means a good thing, but the US had a legitimate reason to go in and try to help the people. Honestly, you are suggesting that the US started a war of their own accord for no reason. Why? What would we gain by that? War cost money, and we wouldn't spend it for no reason. It's a lot like the war in Iraq today. Some call it a "War for Oil". So if this is a war for oil how come gas cost $3 a gallon here and $.35 a gallon there?
-Then you go on to mention the dollar is weak. No shit. We are in a war. It happens. All you really showed me is that you get all your information from internet blogs because people say this kind of stuff all the time. You make yourself look ridiculous when you make it seem that China can rule the world by asking us to pay up. China doesn't like us. They would have already done that if that were true. So why haven't they? Because the US is the number 1 consumer of Chinese goods and their country would go down the shithole if we went broke.
I don't usually spend so much time discussing history online, but in all honesty you are just a moron.
