Giap's Gaps

As expected, I am frustrated by the inability to access highlighted text and notes, except as screen caps, from Kindle Books. Maybe a good thing in this case (Politically Incorrect Guide to The Vietnam War), because I'd have highlighted damn near every paragraph. Anyway, the other day I sure enough heard one of the Hitler Channels tout Vietnamese general Vo Nguyen Giap as a military genius. THE military genius of the Vietnam war. I ran to retrieve this highlighted excerpt.

Giap's strategic rules might be broken down thus:

“

John Kerry lies to congress

”

As we sit here today, not one damned thing has changed, except. Except that one of the most cowardly and treasonous of the bunch had the fucking gall to run for president, and damn near win!, and is still a member of the U.S. Senate.

Theodora von Wisenheimer said...: Giap lost every battle he fought against the Americans. Some genius.

His "cannon fodder" strategy could only work in a communist dictatorship. A free society would have given up on trying to conquer the South about '67 or so.; 6/8/10, 4:20 PM

Anonymous said...: Tet '68 (or indeed any of their offensives right up until those scumbags John F-ing Kerry calls friends cut off military aid to the South in 1975) was the functional equalivlent of blowing their own brains out. Military genius, my fat ass. Giap should have kissed Walter Cronkite's ass for saving his reputation.

but he sure as hell could break the peace treaty and go on to defeat South Viet Nam with the Democrat congress as an ally.; 6/9/10, 11:15 AM
