Missing from both "reviews" and the documentary was any mention of the systematic murder of thousands of Hue residents by the communists. . . ."How a Murdoch reporter swallowed communist Vietnamese anti-American agitprop." By Gerard Jackson, BrookesNews.Com, 2/6/06.
Militarily the Hue operation was a disaster for the North. More than 5,000 of its troops were killed, masses of them wounded and the rest routed while the psychopathic Viet Cong were virtually wiped out. The US lost 216 men and the South 384, a total of 600. It was lying leftwing journalists who hailed the operation as a military victory for the communists, And now their sons and daughters are pulling the same stroke. And people ask me why I have only contempt for the media.
A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.

Are you ‘in hiding’ again? :) We miss your posts!
Hi, Christi.
I was blogging furiously there for a while but did indeed take a break for a few days. Got in some serious West Coast Swing lessons and started a great memoir of service in the German Army, The Forgotten Soldier.
I'm back on the job now, though. Thanks for asking!
I will gladly link your site to mone. It was refreshing to read that someone else has put some print about the 70 years of evil in the USSR. I also did a bit on TET on my site.
You have a fantastic blog here and I hope I can send people to read what you have posted.
