There are so many phonied up, role playing accounts of American efforts in South East Asia that a man who was actually there in those war zones and experienced the tragedy of our country trying to hold on to ex French and ex U. S. colonial possesions is sickened by the stench of falsehood. I have written a brief and personal history of the history of those two war ravaged lands and present it without fanfare or xenophobic prejudice for your perusal.
