    Does anyone know the Kissinger quote about the Vietnamese. I'm tearing my hair out trying to find it. Goes something along the lines of-because there was always more of them willing to die for their country...:mad:

    I haven't heard one like that but this one if rather apt for Vietnam (or any US Cold War Foreign Policy essays_
    "No country can act wisely simultaneously in every part of the globe at every moment of time."

    Ho Chi Minh said (to the French, but it applies to the US too):
    "You can kill ten of my men for every one I kill of yours, but even at those odds, you will lose and I will win."

    "because there were always more Vietnamese prepared to die for their country than foreignors, their nationalism became the scourge of invaders and neighbours alike" Henry Kissinger
