How you Franktok ... ( 2 months ago by FrancoPhobe001)
How you Franktok barbaric invaders, strangers,you dare to invade our country VietNam? , Your army, without pity, was annihilated!!!!!!
First of all, Ho ... ( 2 months ago by BruceLeeKickYoAss4)
First of all, Ho Chi Minh was one of the very few most far sight, most informed, most wise man of his time. His thinking and vision were superior and way way far ahead of most people at that time. Second, he fought to liberate Vietnam from COLONIALISM not for the cause of communism.Third, Vietnam is poor NOT because H.C.M liberated it from brutal colonialism, but
 because the racist bitter U.S and western imperialists gang up to sabotage and impose unjustified ecomonic sanctions against it.

synster: pick up the Biography of Gen Giap Supreme Commander of NVA, Secrets: memoir of VTNM and Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg and A time for War: the US and vtnm 1941-1975. You'll be enlightened at the resolve of the VTNM ppl to rid themselves of OCCUPIERS and the misguided policies of successive Am presidents that led to fruitless GI deaths. Take the perspective of Dr MLK who called it a "morbid fear of Communism" that led us down that Quagmire...

before u shed those crocodile tears for the French, you should read just how brutal and inhumane they were towards the Vietnamese IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!! You might just have second thoughts? certainly, POW's need to be treated properly but vtnm was so poor they prolly could barely care for their own!!

The nation of Vietnam is created for more than 4000 years, and franktok hypocrytes, stupid, nasty began to invade Vietnam by military force at the end of
 19th century, you should not forget that French colonialists were rapped by Germany Nazi in 1944 and Japan facist in Asia in 1945, Franktok hypocryte

The day 7/5/1954 is a happiest day of the vietnamese people after 80 years of cruelle French colonization, in that day, VietNamese Popular Army captured 9000 to
 9500 men (1 French general (his name is DE CASTRIE), many French officers,...), valid, wounded, they were filmed, the film diffused widely in the world, said all over the world the weakness of France..."..le jour de gloire est arrivé..." :=(
The French killed ... ( 1 week ago by laffelskates)
The French killed over 1 million in this war....and then years after, the Americans killed 1 million more. It's a shame they didn't kill more. Fuck asians, fuck them.
Oh also, gooks ... ( 1 week ago by laffelskates)
Oh also, gooks didn't win either war they just got lucky with the fact that American and French culture actually THINKS about it's soldiers. Die asians, die.
That's a horrid ... ( 1 week ago by thewayilivemylife)
That's a horrid thing to say. The Vietnamese men that were dying died to gain independence for their country, something they had been fighting for since the early 1900s. The French underestemated the power of the Viet Minh and lost the battle. They left humiliated, and when the Geneva Conference came round they just wanted out. The Viet Minh soldiers were brave, and actually fighting for something.. UNLIKE THE FRENCH! Don't be so racist when you don't know what you're talking about.
LOLz @laffelskates ... ( 1 week ago by FrancoPhobe001)
LOLz @laffelskates have a inferiority complex, the USA is really anticommunists BUT French is only profiteer, DO NOT FORGET that FRENCH was Rapped by Japanese Facist in VietNam and German nazi in France in World War II, White German killed White French :0) LOLzzz
The USA accepted ... ( 6 days ago by drazmix)
The USA accepted the idea to bomb the mountains in order te destroy the heavy artillery that the viet hided in the mountains all around Dien Bien Phu.
But the Britons refused (although it was not their bombers).
You can trust in americans whe you need them.
Indeed, Viets were ... ( 6 days ago by drazmix)
Indeed, Viets were fighting bravely, a baiyonet on the back.
Those paratroopers who decided to engage at worst moment of the battle knew , (since the begining !)that it was a desesperate fight. That is called honour and sens of comradry.
Some of the french colonial troops (not all)surrendered very quickly (the Thais) but metropolitan troops, leaded by the charismatic Bigeard, fought bravely their ennemies.
Right, Vietnam is ... ( 6 days ago by drazmix)
Right, Vietnam is used to annihilation.
Viets, coming from China, annihilated the Chams, who used to live in the centre of vietnam. How many are they now ?
In the south, The khmers were on the way of annihilation too, when the colonisation began in the end of XIXth century.
I prefer not to talk about Vietnam minorities, those people who live in mountains. Quite good "collaborators" of the French...they were, and still are, so afraid by the viets !
True, like Jews ... ( 5 days ago by FrancoPhobe001)
True, like Jews were annihilated by French collaborators with Germans Nazis when France was occupied by Germany nazi, i think Japanese sodiers are brave (the Samurai code of honour,Bushido), they were fighting bravely not like Frenchs soldiers, when Japs soldiers fight they never surrender to enemy like in may 7th 1954, VietNamese Popular Army captured 9000 to
 9500 men (1 French general (his name is DE CASTRIE), many French officers,...).
Not sure how that ... ( 5 days ago by thewayilivemylife)
Not sure how that is a reply to what I said, though you're right. I was just really angry that someone would be so ignorant and racist!
at Stalingrad in ... ( 4 days ago by FrancoPhobe001)
at Stalingrad in 1942-1943, Germans nazis are invaders ugly, les russians communists were fighting for their country Russia, Russia was liberated by Russians communists >>
at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, French colonialists are invaders ugly (sure), les Viets communists were fighting for their country VietNam, VietNam was liberated by Viets communists. conclusion: France colonialism and Germany nazi are the same, they are ugly, bad,....( France was invaded by Nazi Germany, right?)
