Oh, well, name-calling, that'll solve it.
I don't know why you are offering up opinions on warfare. You lost the
one you were in.


You should get a university education in history and logic. The
military
won most battles. After Tet the VC were pretty much finished.
But the
politicians whose mismanagement of the war over the years, and the
pressure
of the citizenry over that mismanagement basically pulled us out and
declared an end. Was not th military who lost.


yada yada yada


Yup, you can not answer, so another brain fart. Did you have to go to a
3rd rate University cause of lack of brains?




What was it, a whole decade in Vietnam fighting a fourth-rate military
force? Don't blame the pols...


Who was the "forth-rate" military force? The USA?

LOL!

You'd think that we were the first rate military force, what with the
number of personnel, the amount of armament, et cetera, and the nearly
10 years of large-scale warmaking we devoted to the effort.

Did not really make large scale warfare. Was more defend villages. Look
how long before we were even allowed to bomb the North.

My question to you asking "who was the fourth-rate military force" was
intended to point out the lack of logic in your comment, "Don't blame
the pols ..."

You seem to be arguing that the world's strongest military couldn't
defeat a fourth-rate military over a period of 10 years. Of course it
could have, if it were not for the micromanagement and restrictions
placed upon it by the "pols" during the period. This is probably the
greatest complaint of Vietnam Vets. The US military easily won
virtually every battle it fought but was not allowed to *win* the war.
Vietnam was fought much like how the Korean War
was fought ... not to "win" ... but to maintain the status quo without
it escalating into a war between the backing principles. The
politicians controlled the effort, not the military.

The military is organized, designed and equipped to win. If it can't,
it's not due to lack of capability as you imply. To think otherwise is
twisted logic for purposes other than for the truth.

They had the same problem we have had in all of our middle east
misadventures. Nobody really defines what a win would entail.
We took Baghdad and hanged the dictator but we didn't win the war. A
decade later, we still haven't.
That is the way it is when you get involved in civil wars with 3d
world cultures.

Pure "force" does not win that sort of war. It is the same in the case
of ISIS. There is nothing we could bomb or no territory that we could
take that would eliminate an idea that really lives on the internet.
That is where the neocons, D and R are just wrong.
