    I work as a machinist with a few Vietnamese guys. And the stories they tell from Vietnam are some of the scariest things I have ever heard. What a tough, fascinating culture and history these people have.

    I&apos;m a US Army vet. &nbsp;I never understand why people make fun of the French military. &nbsp;Their commanders have let them down but the bravery of the regular soldier cannot be questioned. &nbsp;But the Vietnamese had a right to fight for their independence. &nbsp;They fought hard and won. &nbsp;Colonialism is not ok.

    After the Vietnamese helped defeat the Japanese in WW II we turned them back over to the French, and then wondered why they objected.

    &quot;Who should rule Vietnam?&quot;<br>French, British, Chinese, Soviets: Well, not the Vietnamese, obviously.

    I am French, and Dien Bien Phu is one of our worst military defeat of all time, usually very little known from the rest of the world. I want to thank you and give you a lot of credit for presenting that History to the world and just knowing about it. Pretty amazing.
