On the 30th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, an important TRUTH and a tragedy that we won't see in the American MSM.

It is amazing to me that so many people don't know that we actually WON
the war before John Kerry et al LOST it with their lies and propaganda.

From The Australian, a former refugee tells the TRUE story.

Now there's an article that needs broad dissemination.

It's bigger than a "sound bite." It requires thought and attention, so getting it to a larger audience would be difficult.

And unfortunately, there is such a divide in the country that only the choir will hear this particularly poignant song.

Getting past the built-in resistance to anything that challenges their anti-war view puts it out of the realm of comprehension by the people who need most to hear it.

You can hear the longing in this man's voice. The Iraqi's are getting in three years what so many millions have died for and not received in thirty years in Vietnam. (And are not likely to get in thirty more. )

Many times, in the run up to the Iraq war, Viet Nam came up. Whenever I would make the claims stated in the article or mention Vo Nguyen Giaps claims as to how they won the war to the anti-war left, I was usually met with, "That's just one mans opinion."

They will cling to the propaganda to justify their cowardice, but when the same people that sent out the propaganda mention how they manipulated the left on our streets, it's only one mans opinion.

Like you said, N3, we sing to the chorus, the left doesn't want truth, only to cling to their misguided nonsense.

As for me, I intend to go to my grave telling all I can the truth about Viet Nam and the shame associated with it doesn't belong to Veterans, but to the protestors.

What few understand is that Kerry, representing the anti-war faction, made statements that were sometimes lies, sometimes ignorant assumptions and mostly blissful support of the Communist agenda.

Below are excepts from Kerry’s 1971 Senate testimony:

Mr. Kerry: Well, I think if we were to replace the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime and offer these men sanctuary somewhere, which I think this Government has an obligation to do since we created that government and supported it all along. I think there would not be any problems. The number two man at the Saigon talks to Ambassador Lam was asked by the Concerned Laymen, who visited with them in Paris last month, how long they felt they could survive if the United States would pull out and his answer was 1 week. So I think clearly we do have to face his question. But I think, having done what we have done to that country, we have an obligation to offer sanctuary to the perhaps 2,000, 3,000 people who might face, and obviously they would, we understand that, might face political assassination or something else. But my feeling is that those 3,000 who may have to leave that country

Attitude of South Vietnamese Army and People Toward Withdrawal

Senator Aiken: I think your 3,000 estimate might be a little low because we had to help 800,000 find sanctuary from North Vietnam after the French lost at Dienbienphu. But assuming that we resettle the members of the Saigon government, who would undoubtedly be in danger, in some other area, what do you think would be the attitude, of the large, well-armed South Vienamese army and the South Vietnamese people? Would they be happy to have us withdraw or what?

And in another 1971 Senate statement calling s “monsters”:

Feelings of Men Coming Back from Vietnam
I would like to talk to you a little bit about what the result is of the feelings these men carry with them after coming back from Vietnam. The country doesn't know it yet, but it has created a monster, a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence, and who are given the chance to die for the biggest nothing in history; men who have returned with a sense of anger and a sense of betrayal which no one has yet grasped.

Jane Fonda during her book signing and referring to those VN vets who recently spit in her face stated she could not believe how many of us (VN vets) still live in the past.

Well, Quynh Dao makes another clear case as to why we live in the past. It is very simple and clear to us: We want to clear the air of the foul stench that the Kerry's and Fonda's of the VN anti-war movement cast on us! Until that happens, we will continue to "live in the past" until the history of Vietnam, as presented by them and propogated by the MSM is corrected. It is simple - our honor is at stake - the honor that they took from us by foistering their lies about us.

I recently asked Stevie to post to her "girls" web site my comparison of the My Lai massace to the 3,000 civilians massacred by the NVA during the battle for Hue during Tet 1968. I doubt one of them knows about the Hue massacre.

Time to sign off. Getting too verbose and the emotions are setting in again.

Regards,
Dick

This thread needs to be preserved. Some well said emotions and consice descriptions of the truth here.
The lies and treachery by Kerry and his minions have to be answered for sometime in history. It's up to us to make sure the truth is told and the textbooks changed. It's for sure the media isn't going to tell the truth.
John and Jane's truths needs to be exposed for the communist backed lies that they are at every opportunity. Silence will not get the job done and we've been quiet much too long.

I sure like the new mission statement for the Stolen Honor group. Solid bunch of guys there now.
