History told us the world was flat. I guess Cristobal Columbo sailed off the edge. It's his own fault for not learning from history. The U.S. was the "cat's meow" and unbeatable in two world wars but Ho Chi Minh didn't take history very seriously when he beat up "the good guys" and threw them out of his country.
No, that was the result of America tiring of the war, as well as the new sick philosophy to play a kinder version of war than our enemy.
FIRST of all, if you were tired of war why did you start that one? The Vietnamese were not interested in war, you forced them into it by invading their country.
SECONDLY, what enemy are you talking about? You had no enemy there until you started shooting at them.
Communists as the enemy.
Taking over other countries of their choosing
to enforce communist rule against others that lived relatively free and wished to remain so, by force, when they had no means to fight it.
Communism did not make the U.S. its' enemy. Communism did not
"take over" or
"invade" Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh did not
"enforce communist rule".
It was the U.S. that
"invaded" Vietnam and tried to
"take over" and
"enforce Capitalist rule". You really need to read something about Vietnam and what the U.S. did there. I am amazed that you have no knowledge about it.
thats not all together true,,,
vietnam was a drug war plain and simple and should have never happened,,,,neither capitalism or communism was the goal,,,
