Tell that to the Vietnemse innocents that the Americans killed in their attempts to control communism and 'contain' a civil war when America decided to 'just chose a side'.

okay, an tell that to all the southern Americans who were killed by France financing the Union against the south.

It was right for the french to help the union soldiers in the American civil war, and it was right for America to help the pro-democracy soldiers in vietnam, and it is right for America to always help pro-democracy soldiers in all country's civil wars.. IMHO.

You made your position very clear on your thoughts on Southern Americans....... or was that only the ones in the deep south you didn't give a rats arse about?

Just because I don't want to BE southern, does not mean I don't value them as part of the Union.

Your logic fails.

You don't have to want to live in Scotland or Wales to value the Unite Kingdom.

I think if you read more history you will find many blacks fight in that war because they believe in it, not because they were "sent". also many Native Americans too. Even some Canadians (or "British North American's" as they were known at the time.)

United Kingdom.

I disagree, that is an entirely subjective point of view and speaking as a Scot, I am quite at liberty to have.
