NAM.. IRAQ

just saw Miss Saigon ..

opened doors ..

set me thinking about

Korean war - North Korea sought to make South Korea Communist

U.S. stepped in to stopped the spread of Communism

succeeded

Then Mao went and spread Communism into North Vietnam

and Ho Chi Minh sprang up

and they sought to spread Communism to the south

the U.S. flew in to regulate

but it's a jungle over there

like fighting an invisible enemy

enemies who knew their turf - burrowed underground, set booby traps, sat in trees

picked many a soldier off

it was a 10 year thing, over there

55,000 fighters dead (Iraq numbers are around 3,000)

many mass demonstrations raged in the U.S.

then we decided on an air lift - copters flew in to get our troops out -

soldiers running for the copters as the North Vietnamese pressed in

the copters flew the troops away

troops returned to the USA

and the North Vietnamese came in

and took over

and Vietnam is a Communist country to this day . . . .

and we have troops over in Iraq driving around in Hummers and getting shot at

and years have gone by
