who won the war??
....the US objective of the war was to keep the South from being overrun..from being communist--NOT to see who killed the most = loss
..the US objective in the Korean war was to keep South Korea from being overrun--to eject the NKs from the South = win
Can't argue with the reality that ALL of Vietnam is communist...thanks to the people like you that encouraged the VietCong and who spit on our troops coming home!
You and your fellow communist MSM helped convince politicians that the war was lost even though the VietCong suffered immensely more losses.
But when you and your fellow communist sympathizers like Walter Cronkite who was a MAJOR voice in the demise and needless death of American troops because of
statements like these:
"The only rational way out then," Cronkite said to a national audience, "will be to negotiate not as victims but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy and did the best they could." [President] Johnson is said to have told an aide, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America."
As a result of communist sympathizers like you that wanted to see the USA get beat because you believed the MSM regarding the progress i.e. Cronkite, the politicians
gave up also as they saw the polls of communist sympathizers like you and idiots like John Kerry who such a traitorous testimony completed made people like you and
other idiots again think our soldiers were the bad guys!
Remember Kerry also HELPED kill US troops when he testified in Congress in 1971.
-"telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan,"
John Kerry Then: Hear Kerry’s Historic 1971 Testimony Against the Vietnam War | Democracy Now!
Is it NO wonder dummies like you and the politicians HELPED communism in Vietnam?
Pathetic pieces of communist sympathizers compared to our very courageous soldiers who again people like you figuratively with your current posts blaming our
troops, is no differ than the gross mistreatment as shown by the below.

how old are you?? 14?
...considering the US had naval and air superiority, and the HUGE advantage of helicopter mobility, the NVA did very well
...the military that fought over there even knew it was all a big waste---that's one of the reasons we lost--no horse in the race/no motivation to win/etc
so what if Vietnam is communist????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
it means NOTHING to the US!!!
And HOW NAIVE you must be at YOUR age!
Are you telling me that the VietCong et.al. didn't LOVE hearing what people like Kerry said about our troops? That's music to their ears! IT is called PROPAGANDA!
And Kerry, Jane Fonda and all of you truly disgusting ANTI-American idiots were the pawns of those people!
The military didn't lose the war! The war was pissed away by traitors obviously of YOUR bent who wanted the USA to crawl away like groveling dogs...i.e. read
Cronkite's statement:
The only rational way out then," Cronkite said to a national audience, "
will be to negotiate not as victims but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy and did the best they could." [President] Johnson is said to have told an aide, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America."
And that was what these truly dummies like you wanted!
How dumb must you be to not recognize when you praise the enemy and deride your own troops... that encourages the enemy to kill more Americans and our troops
are truly demoralized by the idiots like you that sing the praises of the bad guys!
It is so frigging obvious that dupes like you caused the politicians to remove the funding and all the while the VietCong, et.al. got stronger because DUMMIES LIKE YOU
WERE CHEERING FOR THEM!
plain and simple--the North won
let me give you an example/contrast for better understanding
tiny, tiny Israel beat the Arabs in many wars
Israel:
totally outnumbered in all categories [ troops/tanks/population/etc
surrounded with a very narrow front that could be easily pierced
fighting on more than 1 front
WITHOUT US troops/US naval help/etc
South Vietnam:
fighting just 1 front
not surrounded
helped by 500,000 US troops
US air superiority
US naval superiority
US huge mobility advantage
SVN doesn't win--even after the US left, but still helped with airpower
enough of your immature trolling
No question Communist Viet Cong were totally encouraged by all the traitors back in USA that supported them and hated our troops.
No question our troops were demoralized, really discouraged when they were spit on and despised by idiot Viet cong supporters like you!
No question the MSM supported the Communist and here is proof!
Did Fake News Lose the Vietnam War?
Journalists wrongly portrayed the Tet Offensive as a U.S. defeat and never corrected the record.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a shock wave hit South Vietnam on Jan. 30, 1968. In a coordinated assault unprecedented in ferocity and scale, more than 100,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers stormed out of their sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia. They went on to attack more than 100 towns and cities across South Vietnam.
The following 77 days changed the course of the Vietnam War.
The American people were bombarded with a nightly stream of devastating television and daily print reporting.
Yet what they saw was so at odds with the reality on the ground that many Vietnam veterans believe truth itself was under attack.
Despite their ferocity, by most objective military standards, the communists achieved none of their goals. U.S. and South Vietnamese forces held fast, regrouped and fought back.
But in living rooms across America, the nightly news described an overwhelming American defeat.
The late Washington Post Saigon correspondent Peter Braestrup later concluded the event marked a major failure in the history of American journalism.
The misinformation, fixed in the minds of the American people, played a role in shifting public opinion against the war.
Braestrup suggested that the press committed journalistic malpractice by taking sides against the Johnson administration and not correcting the record once the fog of the battle had lifted. These hasty assumptions and judgments, he documented, “were simply allowed to stand.”
The professional obligation of journalists in a free society is to stay calm and get the story straight. It is not, as Walter Lippmann admonished, to conflate “truth” with the assembly and processing of a commodity called “news.”
Did Fake News Lose the Vietnam War?
In the Vietnam war, it took the media to cause our defeat,
ultimately by act of Congress, cutting off supplies and ammunition and forcing government-committed American troops in a hostile environment to bug out on extremely short notice, leaving behind allies and comrades to be butchered and enslaved.
And all this was done close on the heals of one of the most lopsided military victories,
by the US, in the history of warfare, and while the severely defeated Communists were ready to negotiate, Ala Korea, some sort of armistice.
An entire book could be written on this topic alone.
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield, where not one single American unit ever lost one single battle.
The Vietnam war was lost, first, on the American television screen.
The Vietnam war was lost second on the rioting streets of America.
The Vietnam war was lost, finally, in Congress.
The Vietnam war was won for Communism by a fifth column of under-cover Communists solidly entrenched in the American media.
How Cronkite and the SLIMC lost the Vietnam War for America.
You communist sympathizers along with the extremely hateful MSM as the above articles point out caused the loss!
A simple question I think any grade school kid could answer.
What would happen to the home basketball team if all the home team's parents, friends, and schoolmates cheered for the other team to win and booed the home team?
Sound ridiculous? Tell me that above articles don't show how the MSM, TV, et.al. weren't cheering for the VietCong and booing..spitting on the home team?
And the amazing fact is there still are a group of dummies evidently you are one of them that don't seem to comprehend that if YOU cheer for the enemy and boo your military/home team two things happen:
1) The VietCong were encouraged! Laughing all the time at the US military that was getting booed by their own home town!
2) The US military/home team are totally discouraged. Dispirited. Ready to quit. After all if friends, relatives, schoolmates, MSM are booing you and spitting on you?
