    Yes ! See how it has progressed to the point our national survival is in doubt because of our lack of will.

    Ok. So then you are saying that one would only in vain search your home looking to find a single "made in China" label anywhere?

    How do you feel about owning German guns like HKs? What about Glocks? They're an Austrian made gun, but during WW2 Austria was part of the Reich, and men of Austrian descent served in the wehrmacht and the SS and killed a lot of Americans and others.

    I will say this, Vietnam has actually been pretty cool despite the war. They rarely piss and moan despite the retarded kids from defoliants, the permanent altering of their gene pool by black and white soldiers, and the unexploded ordnance that still wastes people.

    Do I trust them? Naaah, but they are pretty cool about it. Not like the Japanese who cry every August about the atom bombing or all these other boohoo countries who got some red white and blue shoved up their ass

    The Vietnamese actually don’t run their mouths too much snd if you can name me a place that to this day has a numbah one love long time not too beaucoup then I’d like to hear it.

    So......respect.

    That said, nobody is taking my kraut space magic guns away. Ever.

    I knew Nick before he was taken from us. He was an outstanding person that made a huge impact my life when I was a kid.

    I was heartbroken when he was killed.

    Germany and Japan got new governments. If we simply left after liberating France and Germany was still a NSDAP government, should we be helping them? Retiring there? Moving jobs there to help their economy?

    Communism is a cancer, pure and simple it infects and corrupts everything it contacts.
    Physically, mentally, spiritually, it is poison, period.
    Socialism is Communism in the early stage.
    Yes, and as someone pointed out, it was actually the VC rather than Hanoi. But despite assertions to the contrary "global communism" is a thing and he was targeted for assassination because of who he was and what he did in Vietnam.

    The message was clear, communism will eventually get you.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Well there is that issue. Communism was apparently deeply entrenched in the USA by the early 1850's when Carl Schurz, Franz Sigel, Alexander Schimmelfennig, Fritz Anneke, Ludwig Blenker, and other communist 48'ers landed on our shores while running for their lives after their failed European revolutions in 1848 and became instant hits in US politics and business.

    There seem to be an increasing number of Bellicose members that just want to fight about everything.
    Anybody else notice this trend or am I just daft?
    Lots of threads get locked up because we can't seem to disagree with each other without the vitriol
    and personal affronts , sad that.

    first we should quit doing any business with NY or LA or Hollywood or the bay area or Chicago or Starbucks or Seattle or ... enemies from within

    start with our own communists first !

    but Vietnam seems to be quite the 3rd world mess of hate and Ok and love of the US which is what makes it kinda scary in a way since yeah pockets of nice with pockets or places of pure horror along with areas that are just Ok so ya really do not know or who is against you or OK with you ? that is what I see in general

    google up advchina they had a couple vids in nam doing some touring interesting to hear that viewpoint

    ots of places I reckon we should not be supporting but we do (we as in gov)
