One final point how can anyone claim Vietnam was a failure? How quickly we forget history and how the communist did and continue to threaten the world. We also learned a lot about both war and politics from that war. You are speaking in such short term thinking saying it was outright failure. We learned a lot.
We would have won the war had President Johnson not painted himself into a political corner with General Westmoreland continuing his headstrong insurgence strategy. When Nixon and General Abrams came to prominence the war was quickly won.
That is a great learning experience and one we ultimately used to make Iraq a peaceful nation. Fire the general that does not know its enemy.
The USA could have won Vietnam in less than 2 years instead Congress betrayed are efforts and those poor soldiers who lost there lives. We pulled out AFTER THE WAR WAS ALREADY WON by General Abrams and the Northern Commies killed another 500,000-2,500,000 innocents which was way way way more than we lost. In fact the "Vietnamized" strategy had South Vietnam in military control with are air support. USA would have spent little money or people resources to secure a democratic regime away from HIGHLY INDOCTRINATED COMMUNIST MILLITARY.
But hey who am I to go against you hippies who think freedom is free and USA sucks. Guess what you are the reason we lost that war.
