NO That is not the whole story. The vietnam war was started by using a "false flag" event much like the current war. It was ill planned and unwinnable from the start. They don't want to win they just want perpetual war so they can make billions of dollars and hoard it all for themselves.

ARCH~ANGEL~THIS:=the last bastions of democracy were still in the hands of the people for the last time and the power of the presidency has overshot all legal ramification to our justice system, back then we were bombing runs were being intercepted under the main American headquarters til the war ended, we had a year and a half of being quartered on top of the Viet Nam's unit underground under the headquarters and that is way we sent in bombing runs for a year and half and they hit nothing cause the second the squadron would leave to bomb they were already informed that it was happening because they were under the central command post and we didn't even know it, so at the point of exasperation from not handling this well the people thought it best to stop carpet bombing as it was multiply billions of dollars wasted and annoyed the people laughing at us, so the top brass was under fire for screwing up and not understanding the significance of the infiltration was pulled out to stop a seemingless endless war cause we could inflect the damages from a strategic advantage and was pulled out to save face and lives at that point. can't understand u second line but it must have influenced your thinking as it is unrevealing in it expense or something?

Because over 50,000 soldiers died in Vietnam. Because of the draft. Because it was forced on people. Because Vietnamese civilians were killed, which caused them to sympathize with Communists. It cost a lot of money. Soldiers were not to blame. Over 300,000 Vietnam war veterans in the States are on the streets, homeless. Why are War Vets living in cardboard boxes, eating sandwiches out of garbage cans, bathing once a week at the Y.M.C.A., and singing old Beegees tunes for money?

Two reasons #1 Public opinion was very heavily in favor of getting out, and, unlike our current fearless leader, Nixon saw the writing on the wall and got out, and #2 We were gettin our a s s e s kicked.

The American appointed government was corrupt and hated by the comon people. More people favored the North than supported the South Vietnam government.

Because our Liberal Media PSYOP's us into believing we were losing the war, and infiltrators in Congress did the same. So we'd go and leave the area for the Red Chinese to conquer, like oil and stuff like that.
Oh, sorry! I thought you meant the war in Iraq!

Because it was pointless and too costly with men and money. Plus the public lost support. Oh wait...doesnt this sound like our current war?

We are a democracy - and the public outcry became too loud to ignore any longer.
