..we are talking REALITY--not nuking anyone....not invading the north like the Russians and US did to Germany --that wasn't going to happen--even if they did invade the North, they couldn't stay there forever.....
..first--the French lost--and after we gave them MILLIONS$ and with all their '''advantages'' ....this should've been a lesson
......a big problem was the Vietnamese government [ and military ] = for a long time it was corrupt/unstable/etc = they had 3 heads of state changes in less than 2 years--one with a MURDER..with many attempted coups before and after......that mess was still there after Thieu took over
...N Vietnam did not have to even beat the US ......
.......the US could cut off Korea because it was peninsula--where as NV could bring troops/etc to the South over land
.
No I disagree. Completely. There is no evidence that the war was un-winnable. Every single time.... EVERY TIME... that Viet-Cong troops fought directly with US troops... they were slaughtered. Every single time, that our troops, confronted their troops directly, we slaughtered them. Completely and utterly, destroyed them.
In fact the Tet offensive, which the left-wingers usually point to as the proof we were not winning against the North Vietnamese, actually proved the opposite. If you look at where they attacked, they specifically targeted places that they believed had no American military presence. They targeted locations defended by the South Vietnamese military, because they knew the Americans would slaughter them.
Further we know that the North Vietnamese actively asked Stalin if they could end hostilities. Stalin wanted them to keep fighting, because he knew the immoral godless left in the US was pushing Stalin's propaganda in the war to demoralize the US military and public. Which is exactly what happened, and is still happening to this day.
If the US military had been unleashed to go and attack the north, we would have easily over run the north Vietnamese and wiped out the entire Vietcong in one swoop. But the evil immoral left held our military back, kept them walking around in circles which did nothing but provide easy targets for the Vietcong, which is exactly what the left wanted. More dead troops. Just like like they marched through new york chanting 'we want dead cops' they were chanted 'baby killers' to our troops.
No, we absolutely could have won. No question about it. No doubt in my mind. There was not one significant attack by the North Vietnamese, that our military did not wipe the floor with. The only reason we did not win, is because the evil America hating left-wing, prevented them.
The left-wing loves having people killed.... and they did so.
The Vietnamese Boat People - Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training
Thousands on thousands of Vietnamese were killed by the Vietcong after the the left-wing fininshed their shameful act by refusing to give support to the South Vietnamese when the North backed by Stalin, started rolling tanks into the south.
May G-d bless every Vietnamese saved in the US, and may G-d's wrath consume and destroy those evil bastards that supported the death of our troops, and the death of the south Vietnamese people, by their support for Stalin's propaganda and anti-US policies that led to those deaths.
