  • Die USA im Vietnamkriegby Erik Fischer

    Diplomica Verlag 2009; US$ 47.48

    Am Morgen des 16. März 1968 machte sich eine amerikanische Einheit auf den Weg in ein kleines südvietnamesisches Dorf: My Lai.

Here, in a sober... more...

In this hilarious collections, it's he Democrats who step up to the mike, open their mouths, and insert their collective feet. Democrats do the dumbest things.
