Huh, the AMX-13 is not a very well known tank, is that the 75mm or the 90mm variant? |

Did the french even fight in Vietnam?? |

@Yorec
Really? Really? You are American right? |
| Yorec #1290859 2 months ago |
I am, I just don't have a great knowledge of the Vietnam War. |
| Harlequin_Jester #1290864 2 months ago |
Vietnam was originally a French Colony so this is probably the First Indochina War. |

Who spilled blue and red paint on that french flag? |
| Yorec #1290874 2 months ago |
Oh yeah Vietnam was a french colony, I'm usually pretty good with my history so I guess I just forgot. |
| Clopitor_the_Hydrogenous #1290880 2 months ago |
I know, I'm sorry.
It's just that when Americans are in a war it always seems like they ignore any of the other participants in it. Vietnam was a French colony before the Americans got involved and when they left the region, the Americans entered due to their fear of the spread of communism. |

Yeah, the Cold War was a not exactly America's shining moment in history. |

@Harlequin
Remember the missile gap? Man was that history's biggest pile of bullshit or what? Oh and the idea of the Soviets testing nukes behind the moon? Priceless. |
| Yorec #1290909 2 months ago |
I don't think the Cold War was anyone's shining moment in history. At least for all who participated. But lets not get into that debate. |

the Viet Minh wouldn't have had Ak-47s at that time the best they could do was an SKS or SVT-40 |
| Anonymous #1291845 2 months ago |
I case anypony is wondering. Those submachine guns are MAT-49.

yepper MAT-49's which is rather confusing. i know the diamond dogs are VC but the VC used the MAT 49/56. did the other armies? |
| Anonymous #1293042 2 months ago |
MAT 49s were probably in the hands of some southern forces but as American presence and equipment increased these were more than likely replaced by Thompsons, M3 Grease guns, M2 carbines and eventually M16 rifles |

also I'm pretty sure the amx-13 was never used in combat by the French, especially in Vietnam |

@Anon206
The Soviet Union provided arms to the Viet Minh during the French-Indochina War, so it is possible they could have Ak-47s. @Anon047 Your somewhat right as the amx-13 were not used in the French-Indochina War. That were however used by the French in the Algerian War and the Suez Crisis. @Anon988 I blame Charles De Gaulle. Had he realized that The French Empire was long gone and hadn't declared war every time a French colony (or Spanish colony in the case of the Infi War) wanted independence he could saved France and the USA a lot of problems down the road. |
