Number one: Its Pearl
Harbor not Harbour
We went into Vietnam becuase the French asked for help. The French were getting owned (hence their modern saying "make love not war") trying to keep their 3rd world country and was losing control.
We helped you in many different ways without actually fighting. We gave you guys ammunition, weapons, planes, tanks, and ships to help fight before we entered the war. Our ships giving you stuff were getting sunk by German U-boats so we got involved in Germany and fought them. We(allies) defeated the Germans before Pearl Harbor even happened. The Japanese Emperor Hirohito saw that his side was loosing and wanted to try a last ditch effort to win the war. He bombed Pearl Harbor and we waged war against Japan. Without our help you would be Germany today.

**** NO. You guys cannot ride 600cc motorcycles(which I ride), you cant own guns(I have a .22 and a 12 gauge shotgun), and you spell everything wrong. Mum, Harbour, Favourite, colour, etc.:p You also have queens that dont do shit and yet you praise them. I praise nothing.
I am jealous of Canada. English people always are depressed and always act like they are better than everyone else. Case in point. ^^
Canadians are always content with themselves, seem happy and get involved in little wars. I mean, after all their Army is their hockey teams:p

Then in 1959, America starts the Vietnam war which lasts for 16 years. America, by themselves (yes, no help from any other country) LOOSE to people who could be classed as Jungle men. People who were not as well armed as the Germans were, who had no technological weapons such as bombs, who had no planes to use. Unlike the Germans which had all of these, good weapons, planes, bombs and artillery.
I am deeply offended by this comment. Take US History class in the 11th grade and then post Mr.Knowitall
Seriously I cannot believe you guys are talking so much crap against the US. What is with you guys?
The Vietnamese had guerilla tactics that are hard to defend against. It isnt one side in a field is the Vietnamese and the other side is the US..they would get owned. They hid in trees and knew their ways around the jungle. They would shoot at us in the trees and hide. They had a much bigger force than we did. All those "planes bombs and artillery" was useless in the Vietnam war. You didnt know where to call it in. They were in random trees and the jungle was endless. Many Americans got sick becuase of the diseases over there and the gooks would be civilians by day and guerillas by night. The Germans had buildings. Not jungles. We can call artilerry on specific buildings, call attack helos in becuase they can see them walking in the street. You cannot see the vietcong under the trees and take too much risk of friendly fire by calling arty.
The British were involved also.

When the British landed they rearmed the interned French forces as well as parts of the surrendered Japanese forces to aid them in retaking south Vietnam as they did not have enough troops to do this themselves.
They backed out before the real fighting broke out.
And stop making fun of my brothers. The Marine death ratio for riflemen was 50% in the Vietnam war.. 50 ****en percent. All those Marines died becuase of the politicians wanting to stay. The smart people in America go into business and technology where as the dumbasses go into politics.
