It's that day again. 53 years ago today, Ho Chi Minh died as soon as somebody told him I arrived. I still wonder who told him. That was the real start of the end of the war. They VC and NVA knew it was hopeless when I arrived.
But as soon as I left Vietnam, they were free to win the war.

...and to many around the world September 3rd holds a far greater significence, the REAL beginning of WW2, not the 7th Dec or 10th Dec 1941.

SJ Dec 7 was the start of WW2 for us here in the USA. It didn't involve us much before then. Kinda like Ukraine doesn't involve us all that much for now . . . -Don- Reno, NV

Tet was banned from our FB group for being a troll, and he's still lurking around on FB, as far as I know.

54 years ago today was the start of the end of the Vietnam war--for an obvious reason.
