After watching platoon last night, I've become a bit obsessed with the Vietnam war....I was up last night reading about it.

I knew not much previously.. (still dont really):oops:

Here's a few facts if anyone cares :giggle:

One event you missed:

Dien Bien Phu
 
I have a photo of me when I spent time in Thailand, it could have been taken in Vietnam and reminds everyone of the deer stalker.

I am built of pure muscle mate, I have been body building since the age of 18. Nothing like a ladyboy. You would think I am more of a brute than that.
 
Max Hastings has a well written history of the Vietnam war, worth your time if you're in the mood.

My main surprise was the history of the conflict, the brutality of the French run colonialism and the sheer level of corruption and poverty.
