why does it matter ? <| sep |> Might be a good way to split the sides . I like to chip with my hog deck and spear gobs . Maybe a good card to reveal when the double elixir hit <| sep |> And North Vietnam didn ' t assassinate political rivals , forcefully collectivise and in numerous cases , murder landlords ? The VC terrorised the countryside of the South . They shelled villages , assassinated political rivals andor the family members etc . They wern ' t any more moral . Then postwar , over a million surrendered ARVN soldiers were systematically tortured and forced to do labour estimates put the death toll of that saga at over 100 , 000 . Then you have families and individuals that were terrorised for helping the boat people and often arrested without charge . Here ' s the thing . as bad as the Southern regime may have been on a number of fronts , that was 4050 odd years ago . Contrarily , the victors are still very much a dictatorial oneparty state that happens to love money . Furthermore they attempted to repress Southern culture and language by imposing their own standards . Also , as callous as the Southern regime may have been at times , people were mostly allowed to get on with their lives and live whatever peaceful existence they could . That peace was hard to come by when those who deemed themselves liberators were constantly terrorising villages and towns in the South . There isn ' t just one side to a coin .
