that's plain bullshit--you did not have to wait to be shot at...Why? It's a pretty simple concept if you have to allow the enemy to shoot at you before you can engage them. I had several friends who were there and that was sop.then what? give me a scenario where we would winHow about if they had taken the restraints off our military?

Untrue. If we were going to fight there we could and should have invaded the North or leveled it. That is how you finish a war. Win. But the politicians were terrified we might win and made rules that denied us any chance of winning. We might have won at almost any time if it had been allowed right up until those politicians had the ground combat units withdraw in '73...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

Right. Here is some little known history (in the U.S.) of HoChiMinh, how he was radicalized, and how he sought U.S. support after WWI and WWII: The Radicalization of Ho Chi MinhMeanwhile, Ho Chi Mihn had spent his whole life fighting foreign invaders... which made him a hero.
What a trashy, lame excuse for dodging his duty. Ali didn't mind reaping all the benefits of America's free-enterprise system, but when it came his time to serve his country, he played the race card. Ali knew full well that the Army was not going to send him anywhere near Vietnam. We should have deported him to North Vietnam.
When Elvis Presley got his draft call, he chose to serve. When Ali got his draft call, he chose to dodge the draft, to play the race card, and also to hide behind his supposed conversion to Islam. Humm, yet he was living in sin with a woman after his supposed conversion, in violation of the most basic moral teachings of Islam. When asked about this, he claimed he was "spiritually married" to his shack-up girlfriend. Yeah, uh-huh. It would have taken him about 30 minutes to get married by a justice of the peace.

The US government has a very long track record of doing this, but somehow the American people are unaware.When given a choice, the US chose to support the Colonial Powers over the right of people to choose their governmentRight.
