That documentary is good and reminded me of this great photo essay of images taken by the Viet Cong and NVA. It's been posted in this thread before but I think it was a few years ago so worth sharing again.



quote:

1973
A Viet Cong guerrilla stands guard in the Mekong Delta. "You could find women like her almost everywhere during the war," said the photographer. "She was only 24 years old but had been widowed twice. Both her husbands were soldiers. I saw her as the embodiment of the ideal guerrilla woman, who'd made great sacrifices for her country."
IMAGE: LE MINH TRUONG/ANOTHER VIETNAM/NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC BOOKS




quote:

March 1971
Laotian guerrillas haul supplies by elephant and foot to NVA troops near Route 9 in southern Laos during South Vietnam's attempted interdiction of the trail. The invasion, Operation Lam Son 719, was intended to test ARVN's ability as U.S. support was winding down. It proved disastrous, with Southern troops fleeing in panic.

These images are all amazing and I encourage everyone to post their favorites.

Tell me SimonCat, what do you think the Afghans will say about you and America when we are gone?

Last winter I was fortunate to work with some Afghan refugees while doing political canvassing. Mostly Shia Hazara who had worked with the occupation and fled for the obvious reasons. One could recite classical poetry in Farsi and quote mid-20th century Iranian political philosophers, and intuited some classic criticisms of American culture through his work experience knocking doors in the suburbs. I sincerely hope he can go home some day, though in my heart I know that day will never come.

I think their answers will be as varied as the person you ask. One of the things about the way the US goes to war now is that most troops go their entire deployment without speaking to an Afghan. Most of the soldiers are support personnel who stay on whatever base they are on, and the most foreign people they speak with are the Pakistanis and Ugandans brought in to clean the base, perform maintenance, and work in the kitchen.

I will say that I am not impressed by what I have seen of the Afghan military, and have to wonder if we're not simply backing "our" local warlord instead of their's.

There's a good line in I think the second episode of Ken Burn's documentary where he says Ngo Dinh Diem "trapped" the US when he seized power. Although he was a terrible leader and corrupt, the US was in an impossible bind. Since the South Vietnamese was ineffective it needed American money and support to resist communist opposition; however the American support enabled the corrupt and ineffective leaders to continue running the country. America could demand reform and anti-corruption campaigns, but couldn't withhold aid or military support if its demands were not met because the alternative of communist advance was always seen as worse.

Similarly modern occupations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia face the same dilemma and have responded in the same manner. I've become convinced winning requires making the hard choice and cutting support to a government that can't reform. You just have to take political fallout in the short term and hope losses force real change. If a government then falls it falls, but if it shows its more than just a Potemkin state support can be turned back on. Doubling down on a losing horse however doesn't do anything but double your losses.



I hear Abdul Rashid Dostum, the Uzbek warlord, Turkish proxy, and Afghan Vice President is going to return to Kabul soon. He has been in exile for raping a provincial government official for the last year. This is actually the second time he has had to flee the country for raping a political rival. A friend of the American people, no doubt. And I hear the recently pardoned "Butcher of Kabul" is planning on getting back into electoral politics? :thumbsup:

quote:

A woman named Jude comes forward with a counter-story
She was running a book blogging site for YA authors and was smitten by false photos of him and a profile that claimed he was much younger

She was 17 at the time that he courted her online. He is in his late forties.

He flew to Mexico to try to meet her and she refused him

He stalked and harassed her to the point that she made her Goodreads profile private and discussed the situation with her book blogger friends who refused to review his books after hearing of his behavior

She posts images that show him telling her to kill herself

Mr. Bryant returns to the Goodreads blog and confirms the story and admits that the list was posted with a false pretense but claims his points still stand
