Answer 1

Hey, this is the guy who wrote the racist disney question.  I didn't think that it was to racist, but I think that they should of caught it.  I just thought it was kind of funny.  Plus, I hate all of the disney channel now.  I just wanted to see peoples reactions.  I also think that they might of only added in those black people to seem less racist.  They should of used a different color.  That is a pretty good statement, "If you have a hammer, all you see is nails".  I never thought about things that way, all though I think that the only times I over reacted to anything was when I hate something.  I am sorry for not answering your question, but I didn't know how else to contact you.

Technically, it was the Vietnamese's victory because of how many died, but he's saying we're going to claim it as our victory simply because the Americans survived it. Kind of like you win some battles but still lose the war?  Or lose most of the battles and then win the war.
