Flashermac Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 << After the war, Gen Giap retained his position as defence minister and was appointed deputy prime minister in 1976. Â However, he found himself sidelined by the regime and retired from government six years later. Â In the US, news of Gen Giap's death was noted by Senator John McCain, a former navy pilot who was shot down during the Vietnam conflict and held as a prisoner of war. Â In a tweet, Senator McCain described Gen Giap as "a brilliant military strategist who once told me that we were an honourable enemy". >> Â BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 All the bars and clubs closed at 10 PM last night, looking out of apartment window every building is flying the "Co do sao vang" where as yesterday only about a third of the buildings were flying it. Â Going for a walk around now for a look see, I am about 150 KM SE of Hanoi in rural Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 The "experts" nowadays are saying Ho was mostly the Communists' poster boy. The real power was Le Duan, a hard line, dogmatic Stalinist who treated the South as a conquered enemy, not liberated territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
