The U.S. government finally gave in and stopped trying to prosecute one of the most beloved Hmong military officers for supposedly trying to overthrow the gov. that exists there now.
I do not know if it was for a lack of decent evidence, or the strong negative respoins the U.S. actions was getting from the Hmong community.

PS-- it was George Bush dick-heads trying to prosecute.

The same applies the other way round, for instance when forces are sent into battle by a right-wing administration for undesirable reasons, and die unnecessarily as a result. And not all members of the armed forces of any nation are reactionary conservatives, it must be pointed out. To suggest that they are all of like political mind is simply untrue. In historical terms, it is also deeply revisionist.

And maybe you might care to re-write this sentence — 'The divide and separate plan used by the liberals, with rino help it what will do as various-- "DIVERSITY"-- elements pull further and further apart, caring only about what government owes them, and to hell with the country' — in English. I genuinely haven't a clue what you're saying, and I have read it a couple of times. I'm not being sarcastic here, either.

The method of gaining political ground used by liberals, and repuclican-in-name-only catering to more liberal voters, rather than the conservative republican base which amountes to gaining votes from one of the groups within the, loudly proclaimed, diverse societies, which are gaining strength by being separate from, rather than part of U.S. society as a whole, will hasten fracturing the country from within; thereby causing a collapse or implosion from within, as each society devotes efforts to only that which serves their separate culture, without regard, to the impact on others or simply if it is good for the country as a whole.

OK, I just about get it now, although more than one sentence would be best. I think it's paranoid rubbish of the highest order, don't get me wrong, but I do vaguely understand it.

It is THEIR memorial commemorating THEIR fellow soldiers; if some dick-head wants to have a history revising snit-fit, he/she can do somewhere else.\-------------------------

The press were able to report, and it is liberal, no Hmong-- who thought that the former General should be prosecuted.
Had there been any the liberals would have found them quickly.
So if you think that the North were the good guys in Nam, Laos and Cambodia, you have only your opinion to support that.

Come live in the U.S.; racial prejudice may be down, but ethnic prejudice exceeds the extremely high rate it once had before hating Negroes became popular.
As a youth, I knew rabid ethnic hatred for over a decade before anyone in my community ever uttered a bad word about Negroes.
It is back and it is thriving and as taxes are being used for special groups, unless the common good takes claim over the good of the minority group, it will destroy this country.
Those who think it cannot happen, are to a good degree, the same to thought the Soviet Union could not collapse in a single year.

Listen, I think Vietnam was disgusting, but do you really think that THOSE (why the capitals in your post, by the way? They run the risk of making your posts inarticulately aggressive) of us on the left who disagree with such things go around causing a disturbance at war memorials?

Ah, so you are a racist. Nice to have it out in the open. In fact, that is surely the most open statement of racism anyone has dared post on here. Well done.

Sorry but after all we've provided for all the other nations and people I would think people would be grearful that we are that accesable and ready for them.

With all due respect, the exact same argument could have been used 1600 years ago in the Roman Senate. In fact, it probably was...
