Thanks for your service...


Yes, thanks. But, the VN war was considered a loss. We certainly didn't
win,
and the North did take over (April 1975). I'm not sure how anyone could
realistically claim it was even a tie. Perhaps Korea was a tie
(technically
it's not over right?).


Vietnam was a strategic clusterfk that we finally abandoned but the
GIs, in country, won virtually every battle they were in.

I thank those guys for their service too.

Unfortunately, winning battles doesn't mean winning the war.

Again, the military didn't lose the war either. The politicians left.
But, you anti-military liberals must keep your head buried. So be it.
lol lol


Show me where I said they did. Lying about what I said isn't making you more
credible.


Yes, I'm a liberal and anti-military as the solution to most conflict.
Iraq was completely unnecessary. We've invested trillions in a
senseless war that could have been invested in our own infrastructure.

That's a bad investment. We could have built schools and hospitals in
Afghanistan and instead we've invested in bullets, bombs and blood.

If spilling money into the Pentagon is considered supporting the
military then yes, I'm against it.
