Only American Bombs. remain?? Both sides left many weapons in the field. Why the anti-american bias??

Do your homework before making such an ill informed comment. The United States dropped tens of millions of bombs on northern Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, many of which are still unexploded. In particular the cluster munitions which are shapped like small little balls, which children instinctively pick up and play with. The problem with this is, that they’re set to go off once they rotate a certain number of times… i don’t think i need to spell it out any further. The fact of the matter is, unexploded US munitions are still killing and maiming Vietnamese people to this day.

Please people get a grip. The US dropped most of its bombs against unpopulated areas where the NVA haunts were. The villages and populated areas were the scene of all the attacks of the NVA/VC. I have seen the mounds of unexploded ordinance gleaned from farm patches and they all look like Russian and Chinese manufacture to me. I have seen many hundreds of dimpled M-79 grenades still in their shell casings but mostly mortars and grenades from communist sources. Most US search and destroy activity were in certain areas that were considered non-friendly areas. The US just didn’t drop ordinance in populated areas where it would lavish expensive ordinance against civilians we were trying to save from communist attacks. You people are ridiculous when you fail to take in stride the millions of NVA/VC that served in South Vietnam and spend millions of tons of ordinance in populated areas. Stop whipping the US and fail to comment on communist aggression, the war is long over and it just doesn’t fly in the face of the facts that I have seen.
