[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 560549"] I have nothing but respect for the Vets that were in Vietnam. I don't respect the politician part of it though. The only reason the war was lost was because they didn't use special forces as much as they should have and North Vietnam did (it was a technique the US hadn't come across and couldn't adapt to but have now). If you came west you would find that there are LOTS of Vietnam people who are still upset about, what they feel, was being abandoned. Take a look at the Cambodian border during this time. EVERYONE knows that's where the North Vietnam troops retreated to in fire fights which is why the US couldn't find them. They weren't allowed in Cambodia (just like the North Vietnam troops weren't) and so just sat there doing nothing. It wasn't the troops fault, many wanted to go across the border (and there were a few special forces missions across the border that were kept hush hush for years) but politicians stopped them. When the US left Vietnam they HAD to leave or be killed for treason, so many fled to Canada or wherever else they could and can't return home. So, again, I DO respect the vets but I DON'T respect the politicians. As for Quebec, it was recently decreed that they're a 'nation inside a nation' so therefore they aren't technically 100% Canadian and would likely be deemed a minority if they ever decided to push that issue. It was also all meant as a joke. If it was not taken as one I apologize for those people who I may have offended. [/QUOTE]
