The goal in Vietnam wasn't to "win". Same in Korea.

Why would we send our kids into a war we had no plans of winning?


For humanitarian reasons?


That is even sillier in this context than the one up thread a bit.
If we were just interested in humanitarian causes, we would be bombing

That would be a winning strategy in N Korea too.



The vast majority of the NK population wouldn't know what the PC's were,
let alone know how to use them.
