Three plead guilty to 'modern-day slavery' at York-area nail salons

[JimVaPhuong 4,863]

Only VNese workers (here in the US) will work 12-hour shifts 7 days a week (in a factory environment). They do have a choice to take time off, but they choose to work like so. Sometimes, they put money above anything else in their lives, including their health.

I live my life like the way Suze Orman always says at the end of her shows "People first, then money, then things."

In regards to those who keep dissing the VC, what have you DONE personally to help the unfortunate VNese people that are suffering daily with that communist regime? Probably nothing. You lost the war in 1975. Accept that fact and move on with your life.

A little history lesson...

America walked away. No surrender. No defeat. We came after the war began, and we left before it was over. The people of South Vietnam lost the war.

I think that was a Viet to Viet comment Jim.

For sure. Remember how we had won every battle but lost the war? But again we can always say that, "Hell we are not retreating but fighting in an opposite direction." Of course when our reputation was at stake and we walk away could be construed as maybe we gave up.

Nothing revisionist about it. You lose a war when you are defeated on the battlefield, and surrender to your enemy. This is what happened to Germany in the two World Wars, and to Japan in the second World War. This is what happened to the Confederacy during the Civil War. This what happened to the British during the American Revolution.

This is not what happened in Vietnam, nor is it what happened in Korea. Neither war was ours to lose. Congress never declared war in either case. US involvement in Korea was authorized by UN Security Council Resolution 84, and US involvement in the Vietnam war was authorized by the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution by the US Congress in 1964. Both were civil wars, and the US was not the primary force in either war - they were allies of the non-Communist regime. Hostilities in Korea ended by armistice, but the war never officially ended. US military involvement in Vietnam ended with the Case-Church amendment in 1973. The ARVN continued to fight against the NVA for two more years, with US military aid, until the fall of Saigon in 1975.

The last two years of the war were fought with US military aid, but without US military forces. Only a token force remained to defend US interests, and they left when Saigon fell.

30 years from now, our kids will read this in their history books "The US won the wars in Afghan and Iraq". Sure, we did.................right!

There is no way to win a war against a guerrilla insurgency, especially when there are multiple factions involved as there are in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no single central authority over the insurgents who could surrender, resulting in all of the insurgents laying down their arms. The best you can hope for is to outlast them, and they'll eventually give up and stop fighting. I guess you'd call that a stalemate. Americans, unfortunately, don't have the patience for this. We expect war to be like a video game you can finish before dinnertime.

Iraq and Afghanistan are not like Vietnam. We didn't start the war in Vietnam, nor did we finish it. However, we DID start the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think it would be tragic if we left the people of Iraq and Afghanistan to deal with the mess we created.
