          Honestly if you look it up they sound so weird I'd be surprised if large numbers took them seriously

          Like it just comes across as racist. "We're gonna scare these brown people with obvious recordings and they can't tell the difference so why not?"

          From what i gather the US never remotely understood the Vietnamese cause and had complete racist and fascist contempt for them, in the vein of "fascist ideology makes it impossible to accurately assess the strength of your enemies".
