This shows the world how unnecessary US wars of aggression are

[loudnclear]

supporters of Iraq should take note. What really was the adverse impact of pulling out of Viet Nam? I think this vindicates all us Viet Nam protestors. We were right. That war was unnecessary!

"HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (Reuters) - Flying the flag of its former enemy, a U.S. navy frigate has docked in Vietnam's biggest city, the first to visit the country since their bloody conflict ended nearly 30 years ago.

Watched by curious onlookers and a horde of media, the USS Vandegrift sailed into Saigon port on Wednesday, its crew smartly attired in navy whites and lining the deck, arms clasped behind their backs.

"We are showing the world that former foes can be friends," U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Raymond Burghardt told reporters as American sailors watched from the ship's upper deck.

In a further gesture of reconciliation, the ship's Commander Richard Rogers and the U.S. Embassy Defence and Army Attache Stephen Ball witnessed a floral wreath laying at a statue of Vietnam's first president Ho Chi Minh in a downtown square."

3. I don't think the US will really mess with China.

They are not a rag-tag military like Iraq was.
