Ho Chi Minh
It was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.
You will kill ten of us, we will kill one of you, but in the end, you will tire of it first
I follow only one party: the Vietnamese party
The great victory of April 30 represents the triumph of the entire nation, of justice over brutality and of humanity over tyranny

John F. Kennedy
We have a problem in making our power credible, and Vietnam is the place.

Richard Nixon
I’m not going to be the first American president to lose a war.

Gen. Curtis LeMay,
Tell the Vietnamese they’ve got to draw in their horns or we’re going to bomb them back into the Stone Age.

Walter Cronkite
I covered the Vietnam War. I remember the lies that were told, the lives that were lost - and the shock when, twenty years after the war ended, former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara admitted he knew it was a mistake all along.

Pre-Raphaelite grace

  The space tourist, a vision of Pre-Raphaelite grace, moves through the opulent yet subtly technological environment of the Rumour Mill Stopover. Her beauty is striking: a delicate allure, with flowing lines and rich detail reminiscent of a Rossetti painting. Her elegant hairstyle, an intricate cascade of dark waves, complements her refined attire, a shimmering, form-fitting garment woven with threads of starlight. She holds a beautifully crafted chalice in her slender hands. The vessel, worked with gold and glowing filigree, seems to hum with a soft, inner light, and likely contains a revitalising beverage, one of the station's many exquisite offerings designed to restore and rejuvenate weary travellers.  JJFBbennett music https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrxQKZRnAka3dliF7lp1-Ow   #Scifi #InterstellarLuxury #ZeroGravityCoffee #OrbitRetreat #GalacticEscape #SpaceAesthetic #AstroCafe #CosmicCalm #Cyborgart #Dreamscape #LuxuryBeyondEarth #Luxury #Opulence Be Creative ...
