Re: Wasn't the war OVER(!!!) by 1989?
What does that have to do with Soviet bases being there? Do you think they were based there to help the Vietnam war effort? Not hardly. The Soviets wanted a foothold there. Why do you think the Soviets supported little communist countries all over the world? Because they were a bunch of swell guys? Heck, even the United States isn't that altruistic.
