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.
