I think that one is actually Billy Connolly

The one about the Glasgow attacks? Nope, definately Boyle. He also said about the same incident,

"Scottish people; we'll run up to a terrorist who's set himself on fire, and kick him in the balls so hard we'll break our own foot!" <45>

it was as irrelevant as the US defeating the NVA and VC during the Tet Offensive; they were still unable to deal with the guerilla warfare that followed, and eventually gave up.
This isn't the only thing wrong in your post, it's just the one I chose to respond to. I don't want to spend a lot of time on this but here is another myth which I debunked on this forum a few months ago.

The Capitalist side, most of whom were Vietnamese, and which also included Australians, probably British special forces recorded as Australian, Khmers/Cambodians, Koreans, Laotians, New Zealanders, Philippinos, Taiwanese and Thais, as well as Americans, weren't just fighting the guerrillas.

You did mention the NVA (aka PAVN), but credit the guerrilla warfare with defeating the Capitalists. The US + allies were facing large amounts of conventional forces, plus the threat of the Chinese/Soviet conventional forces if they went into North Vietnam. It was conventional forces that won the war (against the French earlier as well).

I grabbed a quick quote:

Three years later, however, PAVN forces had recovered from their earlier offensive, and now stood strong with 685,000 troops. Armed with tanks and artillery marched successfully on the South, ending the Vietnam War.

Professional Historians disagree on the fate of the Ninth Legion. You debunked nothing.

Regarding your second point, perhaps a more accurate comparison would have been the US Military's overwhelming victory against the Taliban during the invasion of Afghanistan, and how the War on Terror finally ended.

@KnightTemplar and @650lb Sumo fighting in the meme thread



Not sure which one is which yet

Jk… but KT.. you fell for the troll bait several posts back
 
It was, mate, I watched the show he told that joke on.

Boyle also famously said of the failed Glasgow Airport terror attack,

"How dare Al-Qaeda try to bring relgious violence to Scotland - you're 400 years too late, boys, and you don't even have your own football team!"


Scotland probably has P4P the best stand ups going
