Vietnam vets make pirates walk plank

Taiwan is hailing the bravery of five Vietnamese war vets who launched a surprise assault on six armed pirates and successfully took back their vessel after it had been hijacked off East Africa.

The pirates were forced to jump into the high sea and were likely picked up by a small boat operated by the same Somali pirates group, it said.


Those guys had to be getting up there in age. But I wager the last things the Somalians suspected was that they might have problems with some "Viet Cong."

They are not privy to just who their victims are. Similar to the armed hi-jacking ('car-jack') of an FBI agent. The 'jacker' is dead now.

Hopefully, the small boat wasn't really there.

Doesn't matter, there's been only one side since a Republican named Nixon abandoned the NOW FORMER South Vietnamese and let them be overrun by communists. Which is why I always laugh HYSTERICALLY when the idiots here express such concern over what they hallucinate is 'socialism'
   Ever been ON a Vietnamese vessel? I have... there are usually over a million cigarettes stored onboard.

Nice try at re-writing history to suit your perverse liberal agenda but I am one Vietnam Veteran who won't let you get away with it. It most definately was not a Republican named Nixon who abandoned the South Vietnamese people and let them be tortured and slaughtered by Communist North Vietnam but, rather, it was the Democratic Majority Congress (House and Senate) which did that when they repealed the 1964 "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" (enacted by the Democratic Majority Congress at the behest of Democrat POTUS Johnson) thereby revoking POTUS Nixon's authority to continue supporting South Vietnam.

The China Post hilariously claims the Vietnamese veterans  did not use the Kalashnikov rifles they seized  to kill the pirates because these Vietnamese did not know how to operate the weapons.
