Some time ago, I wrote the National Archive (I believe it was), to secure a partial listing of
Communist atrocities against civilians in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War that was
collected and distributed to Congress by Gerald Ford around 1972. The American people were, of
course, told that WE were the ones killing civilians, when in reality that was never a purpose of
ours, while it WAS a policy very consciously and very assiduously pursued by our enemies, who
were in fact and theory terrorists; or that civilian casualities were intentionally increased by the
North Vietnamese Communists locating military targets in civilian areas. They did not care about
the deaths of their people, provided it gave them propaganda opportunities. They cared, you see,
less about the deaths of their own people than we did. Human beings do not exist in Communist
dogma: we are all robots subordinate to History, as expressed by sociopathic thugs.

Here is a speech I copied out of the movie "The Green Berets", which is actually quite accurate in
its depiction of the reality of the situation, a reality that is incontrovertible now that much of the
North Vietnamese military archives have been opened to us, not least by former, betrayed,
members of the NVA itself:

"Doc: As soldiers, Miss Sutton, we can understand the killing of the military, but the
extermination of the civilian leadership, the intentional murder and torture of innocent women
and children. . .

Miss Sutton: Yes, I guess horrible things happen in war, but that doesn't mean they need us or
even want us.

Doc: I'll try to answer that question for you. Let me put it in terms we all can understand. If this
same thing happened here in the United States, every mayor in every city would be murdered;
every teacher that you've ever known would be tortured and killed; every professor you ever
heard of, every governor, every Senator, every member of the House of Representative and their
combined families: all would be tortured and killed, and a like number kidnapped. But in spite of
this, there's always some little fellow out there willing to stand up and take the place of those
who have been decimated. They need us, Miss Sutton, and they want us.

Gladys Cooper: Sergeant, I'm Gladys Cooper, a housewife. It's strange that we've never read of
this in the newspapers.

Sgt. Muldoon: Well, that's newspapers for you, ma'am. You could fill volumes with what you
don't read in them."

The simple truth is that this war was against sociopathic beasts, who won despite our patent
victory on the counter-insurgency battlefield. We won: this is why they had to invade with tanks,
twice. They won: and they implemented Communism and the mass murder and psychological
and physical torture that goes with it.

Richard Nixon was going to get indicted because people who worked for him broke the law trying
to prevent the mass murder and devastation--not to mention huge damage to American morale
and international credibility--that would, and did, attend our voluntary retreat from Vietnam.

Anyway, take a look at this piece. The listing starts on Page 8. One thing I will note is that a
characteristic of Communist imperialism is the kidnapping of civilians, very frequently children.
One clear example outside of Vietnam was that of Albanians kidnapping Greeks during their civil
war. Depending on the pliability of their victims, they might put them in new families, or take
them to camps set up for psychological and physical torture, whose purpose is inducing
conformity to a lunatic doctrine.
