10 Reasons Why Men Should Quit Watching Po*n

The body of a U.S. paratrooper killed in action in the jungle near




The body of a US paratrooper killed in action in the jungle near the Cambodian border is lifted up to an evacuation helicopter in War Zone C on 14 May 1966. The zone, encompassing the city of Tay Ninh and the surrounding area north of Saigon, was the site of the Viet Cong's headquarters in South Vietnam.

The technology and wealth of the US military allowed it to drop significantly more bombs into a much smaller area on the other side of the planet, virtually wiping it out. It escalated to that intensity - still failing anyway - from an impressively-successful (given the resources) train-and-equip program of ethnic minority militia, one which accommodated local interests, their proxy's interests and went as far as to advance them at the expense of others. The largely ineffective bombing campaign escalated into an absurd intensity and the local proxy's effectiveness was reduced through attrition and then later abandoned to a brutal, arguably genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing by the victorious government, largely composed of the ethnic majority group. Large numbers of that ethnic minority, which we used as a proxy but later abandoned, now resides in the US.


Some veterans may be upset by these accounts because the U.S. military won nearly all other battles. However, this destroys the myth that no battles were lost. Some may claim these were too small to be counted as battles, yet the U.S. military and historians note most of these as battles. Others will argue that some were stalemates or incidents, and insist that a larger enemy "body count" meant victory, although it was common to greatly inflate enemy losses. Given our tremendous advantage in artillery and airpower, battles with large American causalities were losses, which led to the decision to withdraw from Vietnam. NVA Generals stated their objective was to inflict casualties on American forces, not to seize ground or avoid casualties themselves. In the late 1990s, American political spinmasters created an urban legend that former North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap admitted they had lost the war on the battlefield. There is no factual basis for this claim, yet this myth remains.

If attrition losses are important, the USA lost over 3600 fixed-wing aircraft in Vietnam, while the North Vietnamese lost only around 200, so who won the air war? Historical debates are common, but no sane person will claim that none of the 70 engagements listed above were losses.

It doesn't sound so preposterous. Also, I've definitely heard the "Americans won every battle of the war but lost the war on the home front" line in TV commentary/history channel type documentaries. With that said, what qualifies a major battle? My knowledge of the military history of the American involvement Vietnam is limited, but I know there weren't divisions slugging it out in the jungles. Given that was the case, I'd consider a battalion size element being forced from the field a 'major' battlefield defeat (as opposed to say a squad or platoon sized unit being defeated).

Just to be clear, I'd agree that that list is inflated if you're looking at it from the perspective of American battlefield "defeats". I believe the purpose of the list was to show that there are plenty of cases in which Americans were unprepared for the situation and that we're not a master race which is invincible and immune to battlefield defeat. I don't even remember how I found this website but a large part of it is devoted to reforming the US military and increasing the combat power of American forces so that they are prepared as possible for any current or future conflicts.

When Saigon bureau staff learned, on Feb. 10, 1971, that a helicopter had been shot down over the Ho Chi Minh trail and all aboard were feared dead, bureau chief Richard Pyle collapsed in disbelief.  

“Henri,” Pyle recalled, “was in many ways the heart and soul of the AP’s Saigon bureau--the class act, the embodiment of what we all would wish to be like as war correspondents--he could not just be gone in a flash.”  

But he was, at age 43. Also killed were three other well-respected combat photographers in their life’s prime: Larry Burrows of Life magazine, the senior member of the group, Kent Potter of UPI, and Keisaburo Shimamoto, a freelancer for Newsweek magazine.  

Huet had been hired away from UPI by AP Saigon photo chief Horst Faas in 1965, a major coup for the AP photo operation. For Huet was already widely known as a gifted and courageous photographer. Having studied painting in Brittany, his father’s native land, he saw the beauty of war with an artist’s eye. But he saw the pity of war with his heart. 

“[In his photographs], you will come as close to the experience of combat as is possible for anyone fortunate enough never to have seen a war,” declared writer Pete Hamill in his introduction to “Vietnam, The Real War: A Photographic History by The Associated Press,” published in 2013.

 On the 50th anniversary of his death, we look again at the photographs of Henri Huet.

From Chantal Uren. This is my story

From Chantal Uren. This is my story... My name is Chantal, I'm a 37 year old Police Officer from Western Australia and I had a severe reaction after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. To the people who threatened me with defamation charges and disciplinary action for telling my story, I am disappointed. I'm disappointed that your priority is to silence me for your own ego and agenda rather than ask if I'm ok and offer me any help! At no time have you asked if I'm ok or cared for a second about my health or welfare. You decided that putting me under more stress, when that stress can cause further risk to my life is your priority. It makes me question humanity and how any person can have such a lack of empathy towards another.  If defamation and disciplinary action is what you deem suitable than I'm not afraid. I've done nothing wrong, I did what you wanted and look what happened. No one has the right to take away anyone else's experiences or tell them how they sho...

The Story Of Roberta Pedon Premature death and surprising resurrection

The Story Of Roberta Pedon Premature death and surprising resurrection IS ROBERTA DEAD OR ALIVE? The X-rated model and actress Roberta Perdon dropped out of sight in California in 1975. She was listed as dead on July 30, 1982, but then appears to have shown up years later in a video interview in her native Italy in 2018. To this day, no one really knows what happened to her. Her story is the second most read post on this site, after ‘John Lennon was best man at Peter Boyle’s wedding,’ which is more about actor Peter Boyle than John Lennon, with ‘She died young and by her own lovely hand’ ranking third. She died of alcohol and drink in the early 80s after a glittering career in the adult industry, yet new evidence suggests she very much alive and well and living in italy. So what really happened to Roberta Pedon.  For years it was believed that that top glamour model Roberta Pedon died of drug and alcohol abuse. She was one of the popular faces and figures of the 70s and early 80s, ...

Inside The Extraterrestrial Tale Of The 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter

Inside The Extraterrestrial Tale Of The 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter On August 21, 1955, the Kelly-Hopkinsville UFO incident terrified the people of western Kentucky and introduced the world to "little green men." Around 11 p.m. on the night of August 21, 1955, eight people showed up at the Hopkinsville, Kentucky police station in a state of panic. "We need help," one gasped. "We've been fighting them for nearly four hours." They quickly explained that the "them" were aliens — creatures with glowing yellow eyes, silvery skin, and long arms who had swooped in from out of the sky. While it may have sounded outlandish, multiple witnesses soon corroborated the story.
