......?? your point?I messed up--it should read 50,000 WASTED American livesat the cost of over 50,000 American lives--that really showed them---and we fked ourselves--YES--now we are competing with them !!!!!Hang on until the American left did what war did not do. Win the war which is exactly what happened.....hang on for how long? the US couldn't stay there forever....We were winning. The Cong was being wiped out. Then liberal Walter Cronkite went to Viet Nam and lied. He was the most trusted name in news and he lied. We had won the Tet Offensive with a resounding and decisive victory. Cronkite said it was a rout. A humiliating defeat. Ho Chi Minh realized he didn't have to win. Hang on and the American left would do what his army could not. Defeat our military.
..it would be just like Afghanistan and Iraq - no win
Well the gooks gooks did turn into little capitalists, as opposed to being another shithole like North Korea. I've seen lots of stuff in stores that was marked "Made in Vietnam."
Looks like all that bombing did the little bastards some good, just like it did Germany and Japan.
We showed them.
It could have cost far more than that, had they ended up like the NORKs and developed a nuke.
As well as 1.1 million North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters. But that never gets mentioned, does it?
