First post. Keep up the great work Swifties.

I listen to a lot of talk radio driving to/from work. About a week ago, the host (sorry, not sure which show) was interviewing, I think, Paul Galanti, but I could be mistaken. He stated something to the effect that a/the leading VC General directly credited Kerry and the VVAW in his biography with helping the North win the war because they new it was just a matter of time until America lost its resolve to fight. And, without their efforts, they would have had to surrender because the North was in fact losing the war on the ground. Anyone else heard about this? I can't find anything else on this topic. I wish I could remember more specifics.

Thanks GoopheyDog. The names did the trick. Here is some of what I found:

Colonel Bui Tin who served on the general staff of the North Vietnamese Army and received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. He went on to serve as the editor of the People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. An except from an interview he did with the Wall Street Journal:

There was also a book mentioned by Ollile North. he referred to it as General Giap's Memoirs. The problem with finding that book is that it was published in Chinese/Vietnamese.

I found reference to it in a separate book about Giap, on Amazon. It took me a good hour to find it. I know it exists, but uber-liberals will say it does not. The title aws not simply Memoirs, but it is in the full title.
