(Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap was to General in the North Vietnamese Army.)

The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial i Hanoi:

" What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender!. It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlesfields. We were ready to surrender. You had won."

Do not fear the enemy, for they can only take your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honour.

What say ye, American haters?

Here's another horses mouth quote:
"The achievement of a military victory by U.S. forces in Vietnam was indeed a dangerous illusion."

Robert McNamara - US Secretary of Defense 1961-68

People like the O.P re-invent history & swallow any propaganda that fits in with their political bias, so as long as he's happy in his own world...

Hee hee. Thought i'd get a good argument going, but you guys didn't by it. This email has been going around for some time and i knew it wasn't an actual qoute. You guys are too good. I'll try to come up with something better.

Ha... not quite, I'm afraid. I just enjoyed the swift turn around from you gloating, to looking like an idiot.

Of course, I'm not fully convinced that you were playing a 'cunning' trick at all. Thanks for the amusement all the same. 😉

You got rumbled big-time - even followed-up with "Have you read his book? I have and urban legends is just another media based, left wing,anti American rag. ..." seemingly without realising that the urban myths article was actually taken from www.about.com, one of the most heavily regulated sites on the net.

Check your sources better next time.

Thank you sir....i think, but don't you realize the idiot was you? Do you actually think i want to be a Communist also? I did want to learn about Communism, but no one could explain it from an ordinary Communist citizens point of view.
