I'm curious whether Hard Binger is saying that Mao was a homosexual
(not that I'd hold that against him at all). Otherwise how would he be
contracting genital herpes from American military prisoners? Was Mao
licking "GI's privates," or did it go further? Inquiring minds want to
know.

Hard Binger, what are your sources for this remarkable claim? I always
thought Mao's tastes went more to pre-pubescent girls.

January 22, 1950 : Mao & Stalin meet in Moscow...
Mao Tse Tung: "I would like to note that the air regiment that you sent to
               China was very helpful. Let me thank you Comrade Stalin, for
               the help, and ask you to allow it to stay a little longer so
               it could help transport provisions to Liu Bocheng's troops, 
               currently preparing for an attack on Tibet.
Joseph Stalin: "It's good that you are preparing the attack. The Tibetans 
                need to be subdued."
