Better make that 'does'. I don't want to 'mericanize our English any worse than it is.

Dip****. Was the decision on the politicians and public. After the Tet
Offensive the VC were basically done. Maybe you should study a little
history, instead of spending all your energy on snide remarks.

The North Viet Nam Army didn't look "basically done" when they rolled down that highway before they were supposed to and chased y'all out. Big Deal..you may have bested a few semi military types running around in bare feet but once the real army showed up...YOU were "basically done".

There was a problem with the political will to actually take and hold
ground. The US never lost a battle. They just kept fighting the same
one for the same dirt over and over again. It would have taken more
soldiers than we were willing to commit to actually win that war and
as soon as that was apparent, we should have got the hell out of there
.... or not gone at all, Thanks JFK/LBJ for killing 60,000 guys for
nothing.
We still have not learned that lesson because we are doing it again in
the middle east and South Asia. Let these monkeys kill each other and
stay out of it. Terrorism is an issue for us because all of our bombs
have a return address on them.

Nicely said, but a waste of time on an individual whose head is still implanted...

Don, you are really showing just how little you know about the Vietnam war.

The John flushes his head...

Maybe, but in the early to mid 70's cable tv had arrived and we got a lot of our war news from your big 3 networks.
