We got way more mileage in that regard out of WWII. Hell there are STILL mega million dollar films begin made on that war.
Neighboring nations became far more stronger and democratic after Saigon fell.
The Communist regime in Vietnam became isolated and the faith in Socialism crumbled even among their own citizens as many left for over decade. More over Vietnamese saw their own nation as being far more poor and corrupt with no opportunity compared to capitalist South Korea, Singapore, or Thailand which saw a huge boom as an industrial power.
Yes, many Vietnamese see South Korea what they too could have been. Ask anyone of them who migrated here. Left wing Hollywood keeps spinning and milking the war.. as they see it ... the reality today is much different.
Yes, Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge dream team were a beacon on the hill for democracy in southeast Asia.

Ask what? If Khmer Rouge was a beacon on the hill for democracy?
The Khmer Rouge period (1975–1979) refers to the rule of Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, Khieu Samphan and the Khmer Rouge Communist party over Cambodia, which the Khmer Rouge renamed as Democratic Kampuchea.
The four-year period cost approximately 2 million lives through the combined result of political executions, starvation, and forced labor.[1][2] Due to the large numbers, the deaths during the rule of the Khmer Rouge are often considered a genocide, and commonly known as the Cambodian Holocaust or Cambodian Genocide. The Khmer Rouge took power at the end of the Cambodian Civil War and were toppled with the invasion of Cambodia by neighbour and former ally Vietnam in the Cambodian–Vietnamese War, which left Cambodia under Vietnamese occupation for over a decade.

With a name like "Democratic Kampuchea" it must have indeed been a beacon on the hill for democracy in southeast asia.

Cambodia is another failed communist nation.. I never mentioned Cambodia.. as I stated, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea did become successful. The communist nations become a killing field.

Understood. I was merely pointing out the neighboring countries which share a border with Vietnam - Cambodia, Laos and China did not "became far more stronger and democratic after Saigon fell".
Reagan was a great president. He knew how stupid majority of the middle class people were to believe in trickle down economy. So we should have a flourishing middle class after more than 20 years.

Ever work for a people like Donald Regan ? I did..
Donald Regan would sell your ass into slavery to profit for himself if he could get away with it. I guarantee you that he never gave a rat's ass if you lived or die.
No ... i dont expect you to understand leadership.
The opinion of someone who is pro-torture and for the killing of innocent children in Afghanistan means absolutely nothing to me or to anyone with intelligence or a moral backbone.

Wasn't me. Patrick emails dislikes, so check your email.
There is a line a conservative man will not cross. That line starts at Frank Sinatra.
LOL - I had been wondering who Disliked all the comments about Frank Sinatra, and why. Fair enough. That famous 1938 mugshot is a personal favorite, but probably not how he wanted to be remembered. RIP, Old Blue Eyes; today's youngins hardly knew ye.

LOL! sounds like a pro Al-Qaeda statement to me. Of course we killed lots of innocent civilians as we bombed Germany and Japan. And so did they.. You rather see dead Americans first ?

He kept us out of made up wars.
According to the Democrat logic, that they use for talking points, when asked to name one positive thing Obama has done.
It's nice to see them finally giving the gipper some credit where credit is due. At least Ronnie, didn't blame Carter for everything.
