  • Renè Le Joey, it was not really that the South fought with the US against the North. Right after the French left in 1954 the American entered, first based in the Central areas and later spread through the South before establishing its own government headed by a Vietnamese President. But that our country was divided into the North and the South in 1954 was way related to the Geneva Accords during our war against the French. 
    I don't know how to say about what history has changed us, our post-war generations grew up with lots of remains of old government and we have been through long decades to rebuild the nation until today. I have never hold myself any grudge against American people. I don't know whether or not this is because of my country's bad education system which hasn't taught me to hate our past enemies or that I'm not a patriot myself. But anyway not being into too much political stuff seems to be a good point I think I have to be thankful for. What comes today will become a history tomorrow, so if I had the power to turn back the time, I would love to learn why I exist on earth instead. grin emoticon Enjoy yourselves!
  • Bob Johnston So, a 'clerk at unemployed' posts a picture of a fire hydrant installed wrong and it ends in a discussion about the past wars and the government...Hmmm?
  • Clifton Buck-Kauffman The aptly named "American War" was entirely a CIA endeavor. From setting up the "South Vietnam' puppet government so there wouldn't be an election as stipulated in the Geneva Convention after the French were defeated, to financing the early years of the entire debacle, partially with the proceeds of their heroin smuggling operations.
  • Lee Nguyen History repeats itself sound familiar? Iraq? Afghanistan? soon Sudan?, or maybe even Thailand?
  • William Allen LMAO, how did you get from fireplugs to war? That's a whole can of worms unto itself.
  • Dan Kings Interesting, ironic & useless fact of the day - Nobody really knows who invented the fire hydrant as the patent for it was destroyed in a fire. Frederick Graff Sr., Chief Engineer of the Philadelphia Water Works is generally credited for it, but due to the loss of the document, he (or his descendants) never received a penny despite it now being in use around the world!
  • Erich Dang I had one in my backyard in the States back in the 90's. Just a dummy one to punk my Australian shepherd.
  • William Allen Hydrants are made of an irony material.
  • Colin Connelly Where's the popcorn????
  • Colin Connelly LBJ admiited he used the Tonkin incident knowing it was untrue. Is he anti-western?
  • Erich Dang America was involved in Vietnam way before WWII. The US government supplied Chiang Kai Shek's army guns, fuel, money and gold to fight against the Japanese after 1937 using the French-administered Hai-Phong-Kunming railway. The Nationalist Chinese would not have survived without this crucial supply line which bolsters their defense at Chong Qing. The US also sent the AVG volunteers (aka Flying Tigers) to deal with the Japanese Army Air Service as the Nationalist Chinese had no air force then.
  • Khuyen Le Minh This topic is much longer than the one i have just commented in. @Lee Nguyen: you're a spammer
  • Colin Connelly Gee that destroyer was a long way from home.
  • Phil Clarke I worked on a water plant in HCMC and was told that most fire hydrants don't actually have any water pressure, so useless anyway.
  • Phil Clarke 22 floor building should have sprinklers installed. The question is; Are they connected to a water tank with adequate capacity?
