No, we probably would have won. And the people of Vietnam would have been a whole hell of a lot better off.

No, we would have already given into the socialists and others who undermine our country every day in the name of "worldism". We would have made the same mistakes, the same way.
Thank goodness we saw how foolish it was to do what we did in withdrawing from a war in the way we did, that we suffered for it in world opinion so badly compared with "staying the course".
At the same time, we still have one lesson to learn: Stop nation building.
Next time, when they attack us or our troops, whether it is while we are defending an ally (like Kuwait), or personally (like 9-11), we tell them to empty three major cities (including the capital) in two weeks as we are going to LEVEL one of the three. Once we level one, dropping fliers and otherwise saturating the airwaves with the information and the idea that they had better reign-in their government, we bomb one of the three to the ground.
If they do it again, we do the same thing.
No nation building.
LEAVE US ALONE!
In addition, when people are seditious about our government (different from dissent, or protest, both United States values and patriotic in their own way), and when people insult OUR government, or otherwise try to make their own country look stupid with careless statements, insults, or rumors, they should be confronted for their unpatriotic behavior and taught how to disagree in an ADULT fashion. It's not hard, but you have to face down such people EVERY time.
How about, folks, you up to it? Left, right and center? Regardless of who is in office? We'd have a government who would be better at dealing with things like a "Vietnam" because they wouldn't have to deal with nonsense like question all the time. Just legitimate complaints and facts.

Yep stayed the course, except most of those that could go to war would be dead, so the only thing left in this country would be fatherless children and widows..

LBJ kept it going for 10 years at a cost of 58,202 dead American soldiers. So you staying the course question has no value.

The Nixon administration was more wacko. The difference is the Congress then had the balls to cut off funding for the war.

Considering your side put up Kerry and Gore against Bush, I think things would be much worse today if either of your clowns had beat the current clown. But, being a nazi I love your unbridled hate, my hero used that to kill millions in the camps. If we get them built again, do you want a job?
