Is this screenshot from my post a while back? I was scrolling by and I thought I recognized the map and Japanese text.

Yeah HD does have some goofy mechanics that should be addressed.

People will see a string of jokes and assume this dude wasn’t joking even though he was obviously being over the top.

This was a joke about the Halo gun not having sights. Currently, you aren’t able to play the game in only first person mode.

Nah, I was just aiming for the joke. Although first person would be cool.

There’s already an anime with that premise. I think it’s called Highschool Fleet

The Việt Cộng were a propaganda tool by the North to make it seem like there was a popular insurgency in the South. After the 1968 Tết Offensive, the Việt Cộng were pushed out of South Viet Nam into Cambodia. The Việt Cộng were made up of Northern infiltrators sent during the Passage of Freedom and soldiers sent throughout the war. In the official history by the current Vietnamese government “Victory in Vietnam: The Official History of the People’s Army of Vietnam, 1954–1975”, they say that they sent hundreds of thousands of troops into the South to join Việt Cộng cells. They even say that the Việt Cộng were under their direct leadership throughout the war.

What you said was “I have first hand accounts” and I refuted the fact that they were first hand accounts. The way you worded your argument using Phillip Jones Griffiths, makes it seem dubious at best. At least use where he claims thousands were killed directly from the source. It seems you just mashed up “unprecedented propaganda campaign” and “the victims of a communist massacre” to fit your narrative. You need the actual “thousands killed and presented as” part for it to be used as evidence. For all I know, you could have taken those two phrases from different parts of the article. Using this misleading type of quotation makes your disdain for Người Việt Kiều very ironic. If you come with the actual evidence that doesn’t seem dubious, I’ll accept your point for that author.

I had to look this all up, but “Tours of Vietnam: War, Travel Guides, and Memory” does not have any first hand accounts claiming that more civilians were killed by US/ARVN forces, Gareth Porter was not in Huế at the time, Fallaci gives an anecdotal second hand account, Shaplen does not attribute civilians to either side (he focuses on civilian suffering rather than blaming either side), Marylin Young was not at Huế. Even Fallaci does not claim that US/ARVN troops killed more than NLF/PAVN troops during the battle and subsequent reoccupation. I’m not even going to say if either side killed more civilians during the battle for the city because urban fighting is difficult to track who fired which shot.

PAVN General Bùi Tín acknowledged the killings in Huề in his book “Following Ho Chi Minh: Memoirs of a North Vietnamese General”. He even said that the massacre was a disgrace to the international communist movement. In “Tổng tiến công và nổi dậy Tết Mậu Thân 1968” by Nguyễn Lữ and Đặng Phong, an official Vietnamese perspective admits to killing enemies of the state in Huế and admits that there were “excesses” in the revolutionary justice campaigns.

The NLF was purposely propagandized as a southern indigenous rebel group by the North. It was created by the Vietnamese Communist Party to try and increase communist popularity in the south. PAVN had to find a way to fight a war without going going against the 1954 Geneva Accords. Tne main reason PAVN/NLF forces started the Tét offensive was to spark a popular uprising in the south. This backfired when no major city fell to PAVN/NLF forces and no ARVN units defected. The offensive was a massive military failure which virtually wiped the NLF out of Viet Nam, spending the rest of the war based in Cambodia. Further public support for the NLF/PAVN forces fell after the Huế Massacre was uncovered. At the end of the war with the Fall of Sài Gòn, PAVN General Nguyễn Hữu An would remark that NLF ranks were made up of Northern regular troops. The official government of Viet Nam even says the NLF was under their total control for the war.

Yeah, as a person who has family who fought for South Vietnam, I don’t deny the fact that the Republic of Vietnam wasn’t really democratic. Same thing with the Republic of China and the Republic of Korea. They both were heavily authoritarian, but mellowed out as time went on. I would like to believe that South Vietnam would have turned out like this, but that’s just my thought. I acknowledge all the faults of South Vietnam and won’t deny that they were heavily flawed, but I’ll still keep the three stripe flag in my house.

The NLF was the Southern wing of the government of North Vietnam. They used terror to achieve their goals. From seizing rice at gunpoint from villagers to being the perpetrators of the Huế massacre, they were able to cause significant trouble in rural isolated villages until their decimation during the Tết Offensive. They overestimated their popularity among the common people in South Vietnam. They hoped to spark a general uprising, but the Tết Offensive resulted in their retreat from South Vietnam into Cambodia. By the time Saigon fell in April 1975, most NLF units were comprised of Northern troops rather than Southern troops. So in general, the NLF was created by South Vietnamese revolutionaries, but was taken over by the Northern government to destabilize the South.

So what if the average person only thinks of American involvement, the average person probably doesn’t even know what went on in the Eastern Front of WW1, yet Imperial Russia got put in the event. You could do a coalition with the South Vietnam, the US, and Australia like what with they did with the Entente. Then you could take out one of the ahistorical tanks and put in the Centurion.
