After World War I, a number of Vietnamese students went to Versailles to request support from Wilson and America to Force the French to give the same civil and political rights the French enjoyed in that area to the Vietnamese.
Wilson rejected it and actually had them thrown out, He then created Indochina Communist Party, and kicked the French out, surprise surprise. Because we always seem to have to clean up French messes, we sent in advisors to support the South Koreans, and at first they were doing pretty good. They enemies were still using bow and arrows in some cases, and they were no match for our new choppers and M-16s. The north got AK-47s and Anti-Aircraft weapons, and we insisted on not shooting the AAA until they fired at us first, and we insisted on allowing politicians run a war, and forcing generals to sit with their hands tied while our boys were getting shot down by AAA and SAMs we knew where there a month before they were active. And the rest as they say is history. At 07:36 PM 3/25/2003 -0600, you wrote: >Yup, I had read something similar.
