talked to the wifey today, she said she was using her THL phone yesterday, so she was probably not getting long distance calls. She was in Shenzhen.

Her package of stuff has still not arrived...arrrhh

She wants to go to Vietnam next time I make it over there.



Doug Casey commented today (which was more about Afghanistan but I also think applied to Vietnam)

You can’t conquer a primitive society. There’s nothing to destroy or hold hostage. The only way to win is to commit genocide.

Then he commented on a theoretical invasion of USA by China...lol

I think it was Yamamoto who said that the Japanese could never conquer America, because behind every rock, there’d be an American with a rifle. I’ve always believed that if America were a free society and the Chinese invaded and overcame our first line of defense, the surfers, the Chinese general would have someone dragged up and say, ”Take me to your leader!” And the guy would take him home to his wife. After a few months, half the Chinese army would desert to open McDonald’s franchises, and the other half would be treated as common criminals; they’d disappear at night.
