Maybe I'm naive, or just a honky who doesn't know what's what, but I always kind of figured the "G-word" was aimed at NVA soldiers. I've only ever heard it in movies about the Viet Nam war.
Kinda like saying "I hate the Nazis" doesn't mean you hate German people.
I get the feeling I might be just a little off on this though, with all those Asian people in the article saying it is offensive to them, and they ain't in the Viet Cong.
Either way, it's not very smart for a guy in his position to be testing the waters with that kind of talk.
