HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — U.S. officials are not attending the main public event commemorating the end of the Vietnam war in Ho Chi Minh City this week, according to a guest list released by the organizers and seen by NPR.

I wonder why the u.s isn't joining thinking-about-it

Top of the list, announced at the final rehearsal for the April 30 military parade, are Vietnam's biggest friends — Laos, Cambodia, Cuba and China.

What a fun list of friends. Bet there's gonna be some fuckjng great food there

On April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese troops stormed the Independence Palace in central Saigon — now known as Ho Chi Minh City — ending the almost 20-year war that caused great losses to both North and South Vietnam, as well as the South's ally the United States.

What a fun twisting of history. Anyways get fucked America, it's time to party!

I didn't know so many Vietnam vets played LoL. That explains so much. Always funny when someone with a score of 30/5/26 complains about losing. I always pour salt on it with my 0/17/42 score by saying:

  • "All those kills and you couldn't kill the one building that actually matters."
  • "You blew a 25 kill lead? LMAO uninstall."
  • "Imagine losing to someone in Wood League."
  • "Oh look the carry didn't carry."

I like to mix it up depending on my mood.
