Can't wait for Disney to come out with an official stance that Star Wars is not political.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

I'm not defending the Viet Cong, but the atrocities and war crimes committed by the US in (and out, because borders are just silly suggestions) Vietnam are far, far worse than what the Viet Cong did.

The US was experiencing war fatigue -- having gone through World War II in the 1940s and the Korean War in the 1950s -- and rightfully didn't feel motivated to get involved in a battle which was basically meant as an exhibition match to show off to Russia what we were capable of. "We'll kick their Commie asses just like we'd kick yours."

When the US pulled out, genocide was committed against the Hmong people. For that alone, it would have been better if the US had prevailed. Crazy conservative John Wayne was right when he said that the US was once again fighting to prevent genocide. But when the war ended, no mention was made of the plight of Hmong people and the antiwar crowd celebrated a moral victory over the US.

I'd like to believe that most are unaware of the genocide. But when it's brought up, the blame is curiously placed on the US for covering it up rather than on the Vietnamese government for committing it. I suppose they'd find a way to spin the story and say that it never would have happened if the US had never chosen to fight. There's always a nonviolent solution and there's always a way to put the American government at fault for everything.

My favorite part of Vietnam is the way the history books read something to the effect of, "While the war was initially popular, the American public soon turned against it." What that translates to is that it was a just war when a Democrat was in charge and an act of American imperialism once Nixon took office.

Regardless, George Lucas literally based the story, in part, on the Vietnam War and the Empire was Americas analogue.

P.S. Most all estimates suggest the U.S. kill orders of magnitude larger numbers of civilians than the VC. So really, it seems like youre the one whos (preemptively, I might add) deflecting.

North Vietnam was the aggressor and we were fighting on behalf of the South, yet that made us the bad guy.

I don't get it.
In accordance with the Geneva Accords of 1954, Vietnam was temporarily divided into the Republic of Vietnam(led by Ho Chih Minh and the communist party a.k.a. North Vietnam) and the State of Vietnam(supposedly led by the Vietnamese Emperor Bao Dai a.k.a. South Vietnam). This division was to exist only until 1956, when general elections were to be held to elect a unified government. However, the South, under the control of Ngo Dinh Diem, refused to abide by the convention(with the encouragement and support of the U.S. under President Eisenhower). This was likely partly because Ho Chih Minh was regarded as a national hero for defeating the hated French and thus would have undoubtedly won the elections. Diem was a Catholic who promoted his fellow Catholics and persecuted the country's Buddhist majority, so he was highly unpopular and needed to rig a referendum to get Bao Dai out of the picture(who, as a former French puppet, was also undoubtedly unpopular).
The division was entirely artificial to begin with and the South's government was very unpopular(and dictatorial) from the get-go.
