And there you have it. Agreement with my comment that "the U.S.
MILITARY DID NOT lose the war in Vietnam." Pay careful attention
to the wording of that claim.

Countries fight wars, and the USA lost this one...


My comments have always referred to the U.S. MILTARY. Whatever
political choices were made has nothing to do with the U.S. MILITARY,
since by law the U.S. MILITARY does not make political decisions of
ANY kind. They can only advise those who do make such political
decisions.


Utter lunacy.

The USA was well thrashed.

If the politicians tell you to run away the army runs away.

It remains beaten...

'The stab in the back' remains a fiction used by defeated armies
throughout history.

Face it son, you got whipped...
