A captured Chinese tank crewman being guarded by a Vietnamese soldier, during the Sino-Vietnamese War, which began on this day in 1979. Less than four years after the end of the Vietnam War, the former communist allies turned against each other and a new war broke out in Indochina involving Vietnam, China and Cambodia.

On 25 December 1978, following a series of bloody cross-border raids into Vietnam by Pol Pot's troops, Vietnam launched a full-scale invasion of Cambodia and overthrew the genocidal Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge regime in two weeks. In response to Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia, China launched a punitive operation against Vietnam.

After a massive artillery bombardment on February 17, 1979, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops crossed Vietnam's northern border to invade the country. Despite initial progress and enjoying numerical superiority, the PLA soon found itself bogged down in a costly conflict against Vietnamese irregulars, even though many battle-hardened NVA troops were still fighting in Cambodia.

Vietnamese militias launched deadly raids and ambushes on PLA supply lines, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. As a result of the Sino-Soviet split, the Soviet Union provided aid and support to Vietnam and deployed troops to the Chinese border. After about two weeks of heavy fighting, the PLA began its withdrawal from Vietnam, which was completed by March 16.

Both sides reported exaggerated enemy casualties, but according to Western observers the Chinese suffered 26,000 killed and 37,000 wounded while the Vietnamese casualties were 20,000–30,000 killed and 32,000 wounded. In less than a month, the Chinese military suffered 45 percent of the deaths of American forces in Vietnam in over 10 years. Border clashes between China and Vietnam lasted until 1991.

Rampaging naked Florida woman, 53, destroys an Outback Steakhouse and hurls bottles at cops before being tasered

Photos captured the moment a naked woman destroyed a bar in Florida before police came in and shot her with a stun gun before taking her into custody. Tina Kindred, 53, was acting 'out of control,' according to reports from the local sheriff's office, which led to a response from the Ocala Police Department on Monday. Kindred can be seen standing naked on top of the bar. Kindred appears to be at an Outback Steakhouse location, though she also had an incident at Mojo Grill the same day, police say. In a video of the incident, she begins trashing the bar, pulling each bottle down one by one and smashing them on the ground. When police respond, Kindred threw bottles at police officers. Kindred emerges out of the bar and begins to approach an officer.  When she gets too close, the officer deploys a taser, knocking Kindred to the ground as the cop yells at her to get on her stomach as he threatens to use it again.   Another angle shows Kindred throwing bottles before she ...

The organ that dies last in a human body

The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and subsequently they will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, the kidneys and pancreas — which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day. White blood cells can keep going for almost three days. [1] Interestingly, once someone dies, the body quickly enters the so-called “twilight of death” in which gene transcription — the first step of  gene expression , where a segment of DNA is copied into RNA — occurs. This could happen within hours or even days after the individual as a whole was declared dead. For years, researchers have noted that recipients of donor organs often exhibit increased risk of cancer following a transplant, and some researchers think that there could be a link between "twilight of death" gene transcription and this increased cancer risk. [2] In some sense, in the after...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
