Bideshi, if you got that upset over something so utterly sophomoric, I can only surmise you would've killed yourself if the North Vietnamese had employed a really competent propagandist.

She's an American, one of ours. Sophomoric? It was traitorous and designed to demoralize US soldiers.

You can face fierce jungle guerrillas in combat but some ditzy celebrity basically calling you a poopyhead is too much to bear? I don't get it.

Going the Waffen SS route is straight outta the Goodwin handbook...and YOU know it

That's a direct comparison of the NVA/Vietcong to the Nazis. And you know that too.

Again, what was wrong with the North Vietnamese trying to repel foreign invaders from a far away country that had no business sticking it's nose in their internal conflict?

Negative. Certain things you do not forgive and forget. Treason is one of them. For many of us that wore a uniform during that era, the picture of her on that gun remains firm in our memory.

It's not treason, though.

Where was the declaration of war on North Vietnam?

At most it was a violation of the Logan Act which is probably unconstitutional.
