Of the 282,000 US and allies, 58,000 were US troops. The other 224,000 were South Vietnamese, Australians, New Zealanders, South Korean, Philippines and Canadian.According to Guenter Lewy:And thanks to those two bastard warmongers LBJ and DICK Nixon,the elite got the vietnam war they wanted from those two mass murderers of over 58,000 men.The Russians were offering help the U.S. was offering war.I didn't see any ..... but they had more right to be there than we did.
Why?
American politicians, Deim, and General Motors (et. al.) … better known as the Military-Industrial Complex made heaps of money from the American tax dollar. What I find very odd is that the U.S. population didn’t (and still does not) understand this. The majority of the American population does know that there never was any strategy for “winning the war”, normally referred to as a “conflict” in order to make its involvement slippery. The general explanation is that “politics” had made a “military matter” complicated. But if the sheeple would put 2 + 2 together they might enlighten themselves and arrive at an important conclusion: The Military-Industrial Complex made money up the ying-yang ... and the war (sorry, I mean “conflict”) went on and on and on and on ……. with no “winning strategy” to be found. Duh, what could that mean? With American deaths at about 300,000 and Vietnamese deaths over 1 million dare I plunge the nation into a state of shock and tell them what that “important conclusion” is?
58,000 Americans not 300,000.
