The New Neo Posted on April 30, 2025 by neoApril 30, 2025

To the present-day Vietnamese it’s a happy anniversary, according to NPR: Large, cheerful crowds of flag-waving people had been gathering in central Ho Chi Minh City since early Wednesday morning, many of them having camped here overnight. The city became … Continue reading →

Ukraine War, Vietnam War

The New Neo Posted on March 4, 2025 by neoMarch 4, 2025

Two different countries, two different wars, two different times. And yet I keep thinking of comparisons and even parallels. Here are some of my thoughts. (1) The US parties have switched sides since Vietnam days. At the end of the … Continue reading →

The Democratic National Convention began today

The New Neo Posted on August 19, 2024 by neoAugust 19, 2024

I won’t be watching. Speeches – particularly from the left, but speeches in general – are not my cup of tea. I’m not a glutton for punishment, although I usually watch some excerpts. But there’s plenty of coverage all over … Continue reading →

Calley and My Lai

The New Neo Posted on July 31, 2024 by neoJuly 31, 2024

William Calley has died at eighty. For those of us old enough to have been sentient during the Vietnam War, Calley’s name is instantly recognizable as one of the major players in the horrific and shameful My Lai massacre. He … Continue reading →

Does Hamas have a strategy?

The New Neo Posted on April 13, 2024 by neoApril 13, 2024

Commenter “Art Deco” observes: I don’t think Hamas ever had what you’d call a ‘strategy’, unless there were co-ordinate campaigns planned which Iran and Hezbollah never implemented. It’s what Martin Peretz described 40 years ago in a review of a … Continue reading →

Henry Kissinger dead at 100: RIP

The New Neo Posted on November 30, 2023 by neoNovember 30, 2023

What can you say about Henry Kissinger? A ton. I won’t attempt to do that. Most readers here probably know quite a bit about the policies he advocated and implemented: detente, Realpolitik, rapprochement with China. He was a titanic figure … Continue reading →

Stringers and collaborators: Hamas and elsewhere

The New Neo Posted on November 9, 2023 by neoNovember 9, 2023

This is unconscionable behavior: On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for … Continue reading →

The Gulf of Tonkin hoax: or was it?

The New Neo Posted on April 4, 2022 by neoApril 4, 2022

I’ve noticed quite a few recent references to the Gulf of Tonkin incident that occurred during the Vietnam era. The Gulf of Tonkin is treated as though we all know the story: the government lied to get us into a … Continue reading →

What’s happening in Afghanistan?

The New Neo Posted on September 16, 2021 by neoSeptember 16, 2021

To a certain extent, when the Vietnam-era draft ended people lost interest in news of Vietnam. There was a flurry of renewed attention when we finally left and then cut off most of the military aid years later, including the … Continue reading →

Whose decision was the precipitous and disastrous nature of our Afghan withdrawal?

The New Neo Posted on August 18, 2021 by neoAugust 18, 2021

Success has many fathers but defeat is an orphan. Thus it is with our withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan after twenty years. Even Joe Biden, who said in a speech that he stands by his decision, spent most of the … Continue reading →

Kabul: where to run, where to hide?

The New Neo Posted on August 16, 2021 by neoAugust 16, 2021

I went to bed last night feeling very agitated and having my own small version of Vietnam PTSD. I can only imagine what it’s like for so many of those who served there, or in Afghanistan, or in Iraq, or … Continue reading →

Nathan Phillips’ Vietnam service: in his own words

The New Neo Posted on January 24, 2019 by neoJanuary 24, 2019

I had originally thought Nathan Phillips had been cagey enough to merely use phrases that gave the impression he was a Vietnam vet who actually, you know, went to Vietnam. In other words, phrases such as “Vietnam times vet.” But … Continue reading →
