High speed bunnies operating.

If anyone is wondering why bunnies, USA GI is spelled the same as usagi which is rabbit in Japanese

Using animals to depict the conflict makes for a digestible read. But, I know too many 'Nam vets to put it out of mind. It's a great read with excellent information and, rabbits aside, it's faithful to the tactics and the attitude of the time. The aussies remembered their jungle fighting experience from years prior, but the Americans had forgotten all about it. We went in blind against people who'd been fighting the French and Japanese for decades on home turf before we even knew they existed.

You can't win a politics-heavy war, and you can't convince GI's to do a second tour for democracy... We were so busy trying to keep the reds out of the jungle that they waltzed right onto our streets and took over colleges and academia. We didn't raise our kids well enough to resist and now the fight continues at home. C'est la vie.

Not only was it a politics-heavy war, the Vietnamese had obviously a better reason for winning. "Liberation of the people" sounds way better than "keeping the commies out of a foreign country". Not justifying the commies were all that great though (since I'm living in one).

This manga seems kinda bias, but who am I to talk considering I'm Vietnamese.

We didn't waltz in your acamedy or college, you people started the war and exploited us first. We were lucky your kids didn't grow up to become insane psychopaths and see throught the lies that is war propaganga.

I understand your point, and any war or conflict on your soil will take a heavy toll. It's easy for me to say otherwise when it's not my home being napalm-ed. That being said, when you look at what happened to your Cambodian neighbors, you can understand why we were so afraid of the genocidal poison of communism infecting our nation. Decades later, we're still in a constant struggle to prevent that cancer from metastasizing, and I'm not sure if we'll be successful.

I salute the Vietnamese. You are a great people, and I welcome any of you in good standing into my nation. I'll even let you get behind my AK and have you fire a few rounds, should we ever cross paths. Commies, on the other hand, can stand in front of it!
