Do you have any support for your opinion re. the Vietnamese people's willingness to fight to the last man, woman, and child? An election, a referendum, anything reflective of the public mind other than a statement by a government office-holder and CP member. If the VNese people felt the way you say, free elections would have been a great way of showing the world their commitment to the cause and would have had immense propaganda and morale value.

I'm guessing that your slavish almost worshipful admiration comes in handy when soliciting business from VNese gov't officials.

There are lessons to be learned from the VN situation. That dictatorships should never be opposed is not one.
