War-Stories.com website BANNED in CHINA

Gents:

Something to think about while watching the China Olympics:

War-Stories.com' website, and your stories posted within, are BANNED in China ... but honored in America. According to Harvard University, that has been the case for many years.

Communist countries do not like US military veterans' web sites. As War-Stories webmaster, I occasionally receive requests from "journalists" in peace-loving Vietnam for permission to publish a story appearing at our website. The last time we received that request it was suggested to Vietnam they publish the accounts of several "rehabilitated" SVN soldiers, several of whom spent many memorable years in prison at the end of the war--after all ... their stories would convey warm human interest.

Permission has not been granted to publish our stories in communist countries. Truth is, we simply do not know how they would use the stories, and in what "out-of-context manner" they would twist the story to paint us as baby-killers. And of course, they do that anyway ... just not with our help.

Meanwhile ... I don�t think they picked up on our suggestion.
