With all due respect... This is just.... Awful...

We killed more so we won? Sorry, but that is just awful...

War is a horrible thing... People die....There are so many reasons for why we lost the Vietnam "police action"...

The victor is not determined by who killed the most.

Your theory is just.... horrible.

Politics, surrenders, outsmarting, rebellions, etc etc and on and on...So much more than who killed more... And it is gross that you tried to simplify such a horrible thing, in such a cold hearted and horrible way.

"This make me proud to be an American.

I hold up my head high when i walk the street.

My heart swells with pride."


There's probably another 500 million like him. I don't hold out much hope for most people and 2012's awakening. Oh well.

Well, I personally believe a few things.

Militarily we could not be beat. We took a few bloody noses, yes, but overall we won just about all military engagements of the war.

Where we lost was the stupid political games, and the influence of the media.

Like it or not, the war was the right thing to do. North Korea was invading South Korea and torturing and intimidating South Koreans.

I realize we are not the world's policeman, even then, but should we have turned our backs and not helped them? How would that have made us look to the world community? But the world community reputation is an extremely fickle thing and the world will easily turn on you.

You see, this was a case of doing the right thing for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways. Just like the War On Drugs and Terror.

So I believe that, basically it was the right thing to do.

Mind you, we're talking about Viet Nam...
