Herr Professor your logic so neat, you divide it up like it was different wars in the twentieth century. There was no world war two, there was only and intermission to raise another generation of cannon fodder. Have you heard the pundits say that Bushies speech was Wilsonian. god spare us, Wilson, I suppose I can't call him nincompoop, but it is tempting, How he let the United States get sucked into that European War. I suppose Dos Pasos was right it was all about the Morgan loans. So Germany wants her place in the sun, and England and France say, sorry we got our colonies so fuck you. Now the war is over and Wilson has stoopid dreams just like mine of a world wide sphere of peace. So he lets England and France rape Germany, Weimar Republic never had a chance. Would Japan have attacked Pearl Harbor if there was not a war going on in Europe?
Screw it I don't want to study war no more, but the Versailles Treaty was the curse of the twentieth century, and this one too. All the shit in the Balkans, the Near East, it all seems to go back to Paris in 1919 when those dirty old white men carved the world the way it is today.________________________

It was NATO France threatened to wtihdraw from, It was Truman who reneged on FDR's promise

The U.S. Army's first encounters with Ho Chi Minh were brief and sympathetic. During World War II, Ho's anti-Japanese resistance fighters helped to rescue downed American pilots and furnished information on Japanese forces in Indochina. U.S. Army officers stood at Ho's side in August 1945 as he basked in the short-lived satisfaction of declaring Vietnam's independence

No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War.
It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.

drive on I am only a crazy old fool, sometimes I get so optimistic I feel nauseous.

Soozen thank you, it has been a life changing event for me to meet you and that other perfect stranger who makes your coffee. I remain your faithful fool, but I am so much younger now
