I taught grade one and grade two for 30 years. I heard a tremendous amount of things being unfair. They were little children who hadn't learned that life was not fair. These morons piss and moan about things being unfair, when they were the ones negotiating the deals. What fucking pathetic babies!
I was in Vietnam just—shit…is it 15 years ago? Fuck. Anyway. The prevailing wisdom for non-American white people was very clearly “very quickly ensure that people don’t think that you’re American because they’ll treat you differently”.
I was there in September last year. I did a tour in the mountains between Da Nang and Laos and I'm very glad I'm not American because the vibe when people talked about them was not great. I had an old man in Hanoi think I was American & called me the enemy to my face .
Can you say "agent orange?" Odd how the Orange Cancer is as deadly to democracy as agent orange was to foliage, & to those who were around it.
Refuse fascism!
Revolution is now!

For fucks sake … as America ignores native Americans, it’s history is just a few centuries… and already the Republicans Trump party fail to remember their globalisation, greed & containment of communism.
So excuse the World for signposting 🖕✊🏻
Yes, living in East London in the 1990s I met a retired UK doctor who would spend a month in Vietnam every year, dealing with the ongoing suffering caused by land mines and the effects of Agent Orange, 20-25 years after the USA troops left the country. The Vietnamese 'payment' has gone on and on.
This part. This is the standard theme of everything Trump does. We destroyed you but at least you’re not all dead so pay us to make sure it stays that way. Political mafia.
Yes. That's exactly what he is doing to us, the US population now. Jerking us around and impoverishing us, so that when things settle we will be grateful that we are still alive and maybe have a roof over our heads. Sick, sick sick
The USA doesn't acknowledge agent orange and the health issues that it caused USA soldiers.
They only passed laws to acknowledge it after most those associated with it passed and their families were already bankrupted by expensive medical bills.
They built such nice museum and art pieces with all of that US (and French) military hardware, but did they ever send a single remittance or royalty? Noooo.
"Dow has great respect for the men and women who served in the Vietnam War and the others who were affected by it. The U.S. government bears the responsibility for its own military actions, including the development and use of Agent Orange in Vietnam." https://corporate.dow.com/en-us/about-dow/company/issues/agent-orange.html
I can't believe those words were ever spoken. Unfucking believable! Vietnam has done nothing to deserve this treatment by the USA. None of these countries, but billionaires, Russia and China, have been fleecing Americans
If anyone is owed anything it’s the families of the men whose names are on that wall. Nobody else. And I’m not sure that it’s owed to them by the county of Vietnam.
Thus spake Captain Bonespurs who dodged that draft. Also, the West has kept Asian wages down in their hunger for cheap clothes and plastic rubbish. The West owes the whole of Asia.
I’m Vietnamese. The government sides with the rich republican, while the poor suffer. Rich kids study abroad, spread propaganda, distract with viral content, and fake patriotism. The people are left to struggle. I call out this system and its exploitation.
Isn't that exactly why they're banning all of them?
Once they finish killing everyone over the age of 60, they can totally re-write history in any manner they wish.
And they will.
The morons are forgetting the 3 million (3,000,000) Vietnamese the United States murdered during the Vietnam war. That’s a lot of zeros. Each one represents a human being.
Well Captain Bonespurs of the 1st Maralago Cowards (Reserve) Regiment is the same age as me. He’s old enough to have been drafted to Vietnam and has no knowledge of the war.
I spent a few weeks in Vietnam, and I was utterly blown away by how generous and serene the people were towards Americans... A country that killed 3 million of their people a few short decades ago, and they seemed totally at peace with them. And this is how Americans repay that generosity of spirit
The Rs (including Romney’s Blaine corp) has been exporting manufacturing to Vietnam (& other 3rd world countries) rather than paying US factory workers a living wage & dealing with those pesky OSHA inspections.
So now Trump is whining abt a policy that former Rs encouraged?

you can see them in morgues thanking the US in laos, cambodia & laos every week... to this day
#USA 320 millon make $6000 USD or 2 trillion per month
2000 billion vs 36 billion
150 billion trade
vs 10 billion
7.55% vs 27%
#Vietnam is spending higher percentage of gross income
Same method of delivery, of course.

Barely knew my gpa. 😢
Ruined families, evil.
My Dad had one of them & died at age 60
His cancer was a direct result of the use of agent orange in Vietnam
I'm DISGUSTED our country's military is run by someone who has never served & calls our service members losers & suckers
Trump should be (REDACTED)
Viet cong on both sides managed to kill 3 million Vietnamese between them !!
That was very unfair !!
I wish Trump would shut the hell up .
Wut?

Deeply fucked that once more Vietnam must suffer from an American Agent Orange.

THAT is the limit where I decide any more internet today will cause me brain damage.
Once they finish killing everyone over the age of 60, they can totally re-write history in any manner they wish.
And they will.
They've been caught teaching that in homeschooling and private schools.
That's why they want to end the DoE.

Oh, the irony.
Between 1955 to 1975 Vietnam was destroyed from war. The US was South Vietnams ally
