The Vietnam Whore: How Asian Prostitutes defeated the United States of America - Paperback

The Vietnam whore won the Vietnam War, and eventually the peace. Between 1965 and 1975, LBFMs ('little brown fuck machines', in GI parlance) working on their knees in the dark alleys, garish bars and seedy brothels of Saigon brought the US military to its knees in Vietnam. Male morale and morality collapsed at the same time as half a million Americans ejaculated into tens of thousands of Vietnamese women who serviced the sexual needs of the men of the American Armed Forces.Mekong Moe argues that the global super-power, the United States, lost the war in Southeast Asia in the countless bars, brothels, massage parlours and short-stay hotels. It was defeated by an army of Vietnamese prostitutes, whores, bar-girls, hookers and street-walkers. Sex and warfare go together. Rampaging soldiers have always sought women as the 'spoil of foreign wars'. Sexual violence is a constant through history. Across the ages, marauding armies of young men in enemy territory have invariably collectively and individually raped as a symbol of military might, not sexual conquest. But the Vietnam War was uniquely a tale of commercial sex.
