Q. The French colonized Vietnam until the 50s when North Vietnamese communist factions succeeded in driving them out. The USA fully engaged with the Cold War between itself and the Soviet Union quickly involved itself in the region to ensure that the balance of power in that region did not tip towards the Soviets. It put its support behind the South Vietnamese who were opposed to the North.
What the US failed to recognize, was that the Viet Cong were never interested in the broader interests served by the Cold War. Their one aim was to gain self determination. Having been colonized by the French, they fought bitterly against the US, who they saw to be next in line as an imperial conqueror.
They fought much harder than anyone in US intelligence could have predicted and the "soft" Americans unaccustomed to the jungle surroundings found themselves at a disadvantage. This ultimately led to the first American defeat in warfare. Something from which the US has never truly recovered.

A. K-9, me again and you're beginning to fuck me off. Let's cut the bullshit, throw out the asshole historical data that gets put on the news and in the history books and look at bare facts! Myth: The United States lost the war. Fact: The American military was not defeated in Viet-Nam. They lost no battles of any consequence and from a military standpoint it was almost an unprecedented performance by American armed forces. The last American troops, excluding embassy personnel left Viet-Nam ENTIRELY, 29 March 1973. The fall of Saigon occurred 30 April 1975, two years AFTER the US left Vietnam. Concerning the evacuation on that day out of 140,000 people very few were US military personnel and those again were assigned to the US embassy there.America did not lose the war... South Vietnam DID! Giap, who many have said was in the same league as MacArthur, Grant, Lee, etc. was defeated at every turn in major engagements with the US troops, especially with TET of 1968, which resulted in the death of 45,000+ NVA troops and slamming the Viet Cong so hard in South Vietnam that that insurgency group never did come close to the recovery of their former strength. Myth: Fighting in Viet-Nam was not as intense as in previous wars. FACT: The average infantryman in the South Pacific during WW2 saw about 40 days of combat in four years. The average infantryman in Viet-Nam saw about 240 days of combat in ONE YEAR thanks to the airmobile factor! Myth: The common belief that the "Domino Theory" was proven false. Fact: ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations); the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia,Singapore, and Thailand stayed free because of the USA's and its allies commitment to Vietnam. The Indonesians threw the Soviets out in 1966. Without that commitment, communism could have swept all the way to the Malacca Straits which is of GREAT strategic importance to the free world. If you ask people in these nations whose age group remembers those days, you might find out that they have a different opinion of who won and lost in Southeast Asia. Viet-Nam was definitely the turning point for Communism. Myth: Most Vietnam veterans were draftees. Fact: 66% of the men who served in RVN were volunteers. 66% of the men who served in WW2 were draftees. 70% of those 66% who were killed in Viet-Nam were volunteers. Myth: Most Vietnam vets were poor and uneducated ( I think you call them dummies) Fact: Vietnam veterans were the best educated people that this country had ever sent into combat. 79% had a high school education or better.( Anyone who has to make life and death decisions in a micro-second day by day ,far outweighs and outstands any college PH-D any day in my book and has received more of a education than any educated dummy that has a degree will ever get). No, The United States, it's military policies, and military personnel DID NOT LOSE THE VIETNAM WAR. SOUTH VIETNAM DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You, and the idiots like you, who don't know that they don't know, at least get some documented facts before you open your mouth and confuse it with your asshole!

A. Sometimes a new rig will be flakey. The first few days you have one they are always updating themselves etc. Could be sis shut it down in the middle of an update. Go to Windows Updates and get all the updates and go to HPs site and get the latest hardware drivers. If you then have issues contact HP. Sony is based in Japan. Chances are thou that, if you look at the CD drives hard drives etc in any computer it will say it was made somewhere in Asia. Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives are made in Thailand, Fujitsu in the Philippines, Pioneer Rom drives in Japan etc etc.
Sony External Hard Drive help!?
Q. Today, I bought brand new metal rose pink 1TB Sony External Hard Drive (HD-E1), I connected it to USB drive to add some files, but when my AVG Internet Security 2012 and Microsoft Security Essentials 2012 scanned it automatically, both program showed that there is dangerous threats and "Password Protection Managere Setup" program (that's inside the drive) is infected by unknown virus Win32/DH{DAMANQ}.
I was shocked and quickly searched through the internet about this issue and looked for solution, but never found about infected brand new hard drive. on the back of the drive, there are Korean and Chinese Characters (Kanji) and it is also written "Made in Philippines", I never heard of fake Hard Drive, is it not Genuine?? or defected item?
PLEASE HELP!!!
I know that PC processor cannot handle two antivirus, installing two antivirus in in one system crashes the PC&laptops.
"Microsoft Security Essentials 2012" is one of the small program that included with "Windows Update", is it like "Windows Firewall" that comes installed in all the brand new PCs&laptops.

A. most likely it's a false positive, meaning you antivirus's heuristic algorithms find the program suspicious so it's flagging it as a virus when infact it may be safe. I wouldnt worry about it, just add to your antivirus except list.

if you are paranoid like me, create a new partition table, create a new partition, format the partition (non-quick). All data on the drive will be erased, including this flagged software.
Step 1:
Download Parted Magic (a portable linux Operating System), burn the iso file to a blank cd or dvd
Step 2:
Boot Parted Magic and open Gparted (Your computer must be set to boot from DVD/CD drive)
Step 3:
Select your external drive (assuming it shows up, parted magic may not support your drive)
Step 4:
Create new partition table (MSdos, selected by default), Create new primary Partition (NTFS)
Step 5:
Boot into your normal Operating sytem (window i'm assuming)
Step 6:
Go to "Computer" or in xp "My Computer" and right click on your external drive, choose format
use NTSF and disable the quick-format check box. This will take a long time.
Your drive has a new parition table, and has had all paritions (including hidden) erased and a new partition made, plus all old data wiped to prevent recovery using third party tools.
