That talking point is objective and factual. You can't get over it. It was the American rebellion played out in southeast Asia.
Well, again, North Vietnamese and Viet Cong sources refute your talking point. These sources confirm that the Hanoi Politburo were terrified of B-52 bombings after Linebacker II, and that they would not have escalated their attacks on South Vietnam if we had responded to the first major attack with a similar bombing campaign. This is why a slim Politburo majority actually blocked Le Duan's attempt to markedly escalate the fighting in the several months following the Paris Peace Accords in 1973. I've already cited several sources that document this fact.
And this fact is just one of the problems with the myth that the war was unwinnable.
