Major Mike Slywester:

I believe your claim is that there is no evidence to back The Star Bulletin article. In particular the statement:

“The vessel, which has traveled to 48 states, will be displayed at Kewalo Basin Park this weekend as part of a “Freedom Boat” exhibition. It will celebrate the journeys of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese who fled their country’s communist rule by venturing into the Pacific Ocean on unsafe boats in the wake of the Vietnam War. Not all who tried to escape from Vietnam were as fortunate, and it is estimated that as many as half a million people drowned or were killed by pirates in the South China Sea, according to Madalenna Lai, a Vietnamese who spent four days in 1975 in a vessel at sea with her four children before they were found by an American ship and taken to Guam.”

Your claim is to deny that their were “boat people” and one half million did not drown.

Is this correct?

Also, do you are agree that Mr. Kerry is mistaken in assertion about the bloodbath.

Or are you just using a false statement to imply that another false statement is true?

F->F=T

Of course the implication is true, but both statements would remain false.

Which works logically, but will probably not fly here.
