# Hadn't seen that before
the executed bloke was a communist spy, and hence a traitor to the Southern Vietnamese

I believe traitors are generally executed in times of war

# I think it was the fact that this was a public execution
and also that the 'suspected' viet-cong didn't have a trial and was shot simply for the cameras which made this such an iconic shot of the brutality of the Vietnam war.

# I think it was quite humane to be brutally honest
he just walked up to the bloke and shot him in the brain, instantly killing him

I'm not a fan of execution btw, but this was another country in a state of national panic, from another era; when the world faced the real threat of communists imposing their filth on the rest of it

The guy with the gun ran a restaurant in California for years after that

# ok you have made your politics plain
"real threat of communists imposing their filth on the rest of it"

with such a loaded statement like that I'm not even going to debate with you!

# If I used 'Nazi'
I suspect your reaction would be different, hence why I spend less time round here

History has proven them to be the same, who's philosophical structure is to bully the rest of us, only communists have wrecked the world a bit more, (if you hadn't noticed) If that's a point that can make any sense after the evils of Hitler

# Fuck Off
you cannot compare Nazis with Communists - You are speaking of Stalinism not Communism - which purely shows that you are tainted with too much propanganda from the Western so-called "victors". The Americans were the first to use the Atom Bomb, they have been influencial in nearly ever war, yet we don't hear the likes of you shout "Capitalist Filth".

Yes I'm a socialist - I'm not a Stalinist though and that's where people like you cannot differentiate!

# And this is why
Christ, well communists worldwide have slaughtered far more people than wankers into National Socialism, so where do you want to begin?

The communist block collapsed because it's own people hated being treated ironically like surfs to a an unaccountable state

I could go on but this type of left wing b3ta bollocks is why I stay away these days; and i'm an Independent reading middle of the road labour voter who would rather fuck Ann Widdercombe than ever vote for the scum she represents

# Actually,
It's serfs, not surfs.

# Actually, I had smurf cemented in my brain when I read the socialist wanker's response
Who gives a fuck ultimately, I think i'll buy some stuff on amazon to get over the boredom it lowered me to

# Could we compare Fascists with Communists, please?
Nazism was fascism with a few added extras that really didn't work out so well, in the same way that Stalinism had its little quirks to add to communism.

I don't agree with either point of view particularly but your reaction really did blow.

# I've seen the clip before
watching the clip isn't an act of brutality, I loathe that Southern Vietnam Police Man and his calousness - but I suppose that's war for you some people get off on it!

Some years ago I did an essay arguing against the premise "The Camera Never Lies" - you could take any stance, mine was against. and I used the photo of this execution as the way Photography is use in Propaganda - I got an A* ;)

# History is history - can't change the past
Photography is an art, art is a lie, a lie is an interpretation of the truth, cake is nice, but "potal" told me the cake was a lie, i am so confused right now

# Art is based on life as life is based on art - if one is a lie then all things are a lie
or all things are the truth - especially cake!

Plus a painting never lies, only the artist lies - like a Photographer can make a camera lie but a camera cannot make a photographer lie... this plus cake!
