Sirs, I do hope that you will at least offer your verdict on the issue as I request the negative rating to be lifted. I have listed the reasons. Beyond those, unlike what jhungary suggests, the post in question has never been intended to be insulting against the Vietnamese.
I have no history of insulting a group of people as I distinguish between peoples and governments. As a Pan- (East)Asianist, it is inconceivable I would be holding any negative feelings against people in China-sphere and beyond. I have not once used any racial slur in any one of my posts. .
I have no interest, as well as expertise on sociological/cultural issues. My area is interstate relations and hence my posts are.
If there is a generalization in that post, it is only a generalization about the US Army as an institution as being rapist and murderer. If this is an insult, I admit it, and hence I deleted my post.
I have never been subject to US-led drone attacks, unlike people of Pakistan, but I have done extensive study on it from the perspective of international law. Therefore, perhaps we must leave the duty of defending the integrity of US Army to the US members.
I do hope that you would look at the issue under this light and see that my post has never been intended as an insult to the Vietnamese but only describing the US Army operating in foreign lands as rapists and murderers. If this is against forum rules, please state it openly. I will not be repeating my argument and I have already deleted what I have posted.
I do hope that you would be lifting the negative rating.
Regards.
