That makes it harder to distribute it

Everyone gets a job

We had these stamps for food back then

Currently I don't have the permission to send pictures so I guess I'll describe them

Cool

I gotta grab breakfast now

Brb

My grandpa told me stories about the Battle of Xuan Loc that opened a road directly to Saigon and the Fall of Saigon

He witnessed them himself

They're kind fucked even if US funding still come

The ARVN is a weak Army

So did the North

No

Actually no

The South Vietnamese was equipped with M16 and it's modern variant M16A1

UH1 helicopters

Chinook

M48

The North was as poorly equipped as the South in the first half

Actually

The North didn't fought with the South

It's the NLF

Or the Viet Cong

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Republic_of_Vietnam

Consider reading this for urself to grasp the scale of the Republic

The government was shit

The Army had no fighting spirit

That's why the lost

If they have half the guts of a North Vietnamese soldier

They'd be parading in the street of Hanoi in 1968

Diem got assassinated in a CIA funded coup

He did some really wacky shit before

It's sad to see brothers and sisters pointing their guns at each other

I believe the Vietnamese people as a whole should all unite against the greater threat of China, not themselves

They don't

They hate the US actions

The US style of military intervention

North Vietnam actually loved the US before 1954 and all the wacky shit the US did in Vietnam

Vietnam today is pro US rather than Pro China

Vietnam actually wanted to befriend the US

They're insulting the soldiers that died protecting those islands in 1988

The Battle of Gac Ma actually is in Vietnamese textbooks and propaganda posters

The sign of Vietnamese national sovereignty

And to what scale we'll come if that sovereignty is at stake

Bruh

Reagan

What

Even tho it changed American society

And culture

What to hear a fun fact?

North Vietnam had no conscription

No, actually no

That's top notch funny story right there

The North won 2 wars against the French

Most of them died in the field either by American bomb or gunfires

No

Not permanently

Every soldier had a 3 years service

Today it's reduce to 2

Bruh

Tbh

It kinda find it funny how the Captured US fighter pilots acted like they're truly living in hell

They're treated more special than the ordinary North Vietnamese soldier

Less exercise, safe

John McCain would be proud

Dann

Dyde

The helmet they're wearing are actually a Vietnamese version of the PATSG Helmet

There are another helmet for training purposes

The type A2 helmet

Okie

I'm genuinely surprised that I'd meet a fellow compatriot here

Waaawwww

Hehe, just ate at a wedding party

Nothing's better than free food

The family's apperantly vegetarian

So they served veggies food

I've seen some Americans claiming that Vietnam is still living in extreme poverty and most of us "can't afford TV"

@J. I live in Vietnam and I make 1000 bucks a month

That's not pretty poor my guy

No I'm not a child of a government official

The average income of 150$ a month is back in the 80's

Where did you even get that "the average income there is 150 dollars a month" from anyway?

Some reports made in 1986?

Why?

Taxes are low, unemployment rates are lower than America

Everything is cheap

Electricity, waters at best less than 100 dollars a month

You can live a very comfortable life here

So?

Me and my 'poor' friends can easily afford PS4

I can enjoy literally anything Americans can enjoy

Disposable income?

Nor am I poor

I can feed myself and pay my bills and taxes for 200 dollars

Even less

Ah wait no

Stratch that 200

180

Yes we're poor to American and Western standards
