Vietnam War Protesters Get A Huge ‘Thank You’ From Vietnamese Communist Leader

It’s the “Thank You” that’s been 40-some-odd years in the making. So, yay.

According to this, a prominent communist leader from Vietnam has expressed her gratitude to the American anti-war activists that helped give Vietnam victory in the 1970s –

For Vietnamese guerrilla leader Madam Nguyen Thi Binh, who sent the private letter from Hanoi dated April 20, “victory” meant the communist takeover of South Vietnam. The letter addressed veteran American anti-war activists who gathered in Washington, D.C., at a May 3 reunion of radical “May Day” anti-war leaders.

Binh, now age 90, originally served as the highest ranking Vietnamese delegate to the Paris Peace Talks that imposed a ceasefire in the country in 1973.

Binh’s frank admission highlights a secret side of the communist’s effective lobbying influence in the United States. Rather than live in the southern part of the country, which for decades she represented as a diplomat, it appears after the war Binh was living in Hanoi, the original capital of North Vietnam.

In her letter, she extolled the American anti-war movement, saying it was “a key component” that advanced the communist takeover of South Vietnam.

“The Vietnamese people have great appreciation for the peace and antiwar movements in the United States and view those movements’ contribution as important in shortening the war,” she wrote and which was read to an assembled group of “May Day” anti-war activists in Washington, D.C.

So, leftist anti-war hippies are being thanked for their efforts by a Vietnamese communist. Would this be like ISIS telling the liberal PC Police “thank you” for telling people that it’s “Islamophobic” to criticize Islamic terrorists?

You know, when your country’s former enemies are telling you “hey, thanks for helping us defeat your military,” there’s just something flat-out wrong about that. Especially when there are so many veterans of the Vietnam War who came home to hostile protests, as well as physical and mental injuries that many never recovered from. When I think about how poorly a lot of soldiers were treated after the Vietnam War thanks to all the leftist peacenik propaganda, it makes me physically ill.

But sure – the protesters of that era can totally get a thank you note from the communist leaders from Vietnam. No problem.

Disgusting.
