A people fighting for control of their own country vs a bunch of enslaved 19 year olds who just want to get through it without getting maimed or worse. How is that not an unwinnable scenario?
What in the world are you talking about? Communist North Vietnam, with massive Soviet aid, invaded South Vietnam. We intervened to keep South Vietnam from being annexed by North Vietnam. North Vietnam and South Vietnam had been separate entities for centuries. The South Vietnamese were the ones who were "fighting for control of their own country," and we were trying to make sure they succeeded.
But treasonous Democrats in Congress gave North Vietnam the green light to break the ceasefire agreement by passing the Case-Church Amendment a few months after the ceasefire began, which virtually assured the Communists that America would not intervene to help South Vietnam again. Then, when North Vietnam launched a full-scale invasion of South Vietnam, the Democrats refused to allow President Ford to provide the air support that we had promised to provide if the Communists broke the ceasefire and invaded.

In January 1973, America forced Communist North Vietnam to sign a ceasefire agreement, after bringing the Hanoi regime to the verge of collapse with Operations Linebacker I and Linebacker II. South Vietnam was independent and stable. But soon Congress, firmly controlled by the Democrats, began tosites.google.com
People forget that the massive North Vietnamese army that launched the final invasion of South Vietnam was hideously vulnerable to U.S. air power. Massive B-52 strikes would've easily annihilated that army with tens of thousands of North Vietnamese deaths at the very least. If the U.S. had done so it would've been years, possibly decades before the North Vietnamese could've made another such effort.
