American war mongers always want to blame the "liberals' and war protesters because they lost the Vietnam War.
WRONG....all the VC or NVA ever had to do to win, was to never give up...the americans would have to go home sooner or later, JUST LIKE THIS WAR.
The Vietnamese people showed great courage and eventually threw out the americans as was their duty.
The real blame for the whole Vietnam Fiasco..was with the idiots in Washington DC that got the USA involved.....same crap with this war. We are going to LOSE, as we should...and the blame will be assigned to anyone EXCEPT the idiots that started the WAR.....The evil Bush Regime.
LBJ, Mc Namara,Nixon and a host of american politicians should have been executed for war crimes. As should Bush and his war criminal friends for this war.
US servicemen that die in the current war should be buried on Bush's Ranch in Crawford Texas. President Bush and his sleasy family should be forced to dig the graves!

While I can agree with much of the latter part of your expose, the first line is not really factual.
Militarily, we could have won that war anytime we wanted to actually get serious and wage war. You are not really waging war, when you don't invade North Vietnam and beat the living snot of it, which of course was within our power, if not our will.
We never got serious about that war and neither did the South Vietnamese, who probably couldn't decide if being ruled by the North was going to be any worse than what they had already experienced.
Overall, the will to win was absent from all parties save the VC and the NVA and yes...they won the battle of wills. The millions of their dead paint a very different picture militarily.

If the US had been allowed to invade N. Vietnam the war would have been a lot different so much so that the Communists would have lost the war to the US but LBJ wouldn't let the US attack the North. Plus during the Tet Offensive 2/3 of the Viet Cong were killed or captured by US forces and they were never the major threat that they had been to the US after that time. In fact the US military killed an estimated 2 million communists. PR & politics in the US defeated the US in Vietnam as much as the Communists Vietnamese did.

Funny, there is now such a parallel between Vietnam and Iraq. Both have been fought as politically correct wars and success in both wars was impossible because of the pc crap, insane rules of engagement and of course the communist groups in the US that protested every chance they got. International ANSWER anyone????

Of course you never hear about them on the leftist mainstream media, the rest of the population is too checked out to see things for what they really are and if you bring the truth out, you are labeled an extemist "McCarthyite".

I agree with road hazzard. The liberal politicians and the media (Walter Cronkite) painted a scenario that led the public to believe we couldn't win in Viet Nam. Sound familiar? They used the TET offensive (which the N Vietnamese and the Viet Cong suffered heavy casualties) as the fuel for their fire.

There is an honest way to compare the Vietnam "Conflict" with the problems we are having helping the "Reconstruction" of Iraq.
The N. Vietnamese were aided by China and as such we were fighting the Chinese by Proxy!
We are now finding ourselves fighting the Theocracy of Iran by Proxy!
In both cases, we were not allowed to engage in actual warfare with our real enemies and in both cases the Lib Media and dissenting treasonous forces corrupted support for what was and is a very noble cause-just as noble as the causes that took millions of lives in WW1, WW2, Korean and even the "Civil" war-if you actually feel it was about eliminating "Slavery"-LOL!!!
Oh, to be young, dumb and Libbie again!!! Shame, some of us have to grow up and learn things!!!
Then again, thank God you might!
LOL--At you!!!

the U. S. might have gained the VN conflict in the event that they have been allowed to truly combat the conflict. A North Vietnamese well-known stated that once he US became into bombing Hanoi they have been on the verge of surrendering and then the bombing stopped. Why? simply by fact left wing radicals have been protesting and the government became into attempting to run the conflict vs permitting the Generals to run issues. comparable ingredient is going on in Afghanistan on the instant, infantrymen could ask permission to have interplay. entire BS.

Really, any time a direct confrontation occurred, the NVA got slaughtered. The tactic that worked was the will to fight and to live in foxholes for months at a time.
Think of it this way: the US is so powerful that no nation or group dares confront us directly. Our enemies are reduced to hiding and duplicity to advance their agenda.

what part of Europe are you from? the part who's butt we saved, or the part who's butt we kicked?
we "lost" in Vietnam because of liberal philosophy penetrating the minds of the military commanders. our rules of engagement were too weak. we should have just blown up every town from the air in nvm starting with the capitol until we achieved unconditional surrender, which wouldn't have taken long. that's how both world wars were won, and liberal rules of engagement are the source of every sorry effort in every war and conflict since WWII

It was more like the liberals at home kicked butt, not the VC. If we had been able to go all out, we would have done the job that should have been done.
