The problem is that USA public traditionally expects "short" and decisive wars--that couldnt be the case with this kind of war which would have taken perhaps 20 years to 'win'. Americans just aren't used to that kind of warfare.
The US govt never really had a strong desire or drive to completely win the war in vietnam. On the other hand North Vietnam had an outstanding amount of desire and drive to win this war and would have done anything to win and would have fought to the last man standing in all battles. We just didnt have tht desire to win because whether we lost or won it wouldnt have had effected the US at all
President Obama and his Administration; even Senator Obama has DONE MORE FOR VETERANS THAN BUSH DID IN ALL 8 YRS. YOU CAN "WHINE, CRY, COMPLAIN, AND SPILL THAT "MISGUIDED" "FOX NEWS INFESTED LIES ALL YOU WANT; BUT THE "FACTS ARE THERE....IF YOU CARE OR CAN READ!"

It was Senator Obama and Senator Webb, who sponsored help
@maillarrym1 Thats so not true buddy. Bush pushed lots, and lots, and lots of money to the military. mccain was going to push even more. obama on the other hand, cut it significanty, causing many problems. not to say i support obama, or mccain, or bush tho, because i don't. RON PAUL '12

The Area must have been really tuff to fight in. I cant imagine sitting there. Getting shot at in a jungle. You cant see the enemy but you can feel the bullets flying around. Got if this was me i would lay on the ground and cover my head. Damn. Respect for the Soldiers there.
Here in Denmark everybody thinks that This country has done good things for the world. No they havent. Scandinavia started the War in Afghanistan. SOns of bitches im not proud of to be Danish/Korean.
@rand95024@lolpwnedhahatintman2 Unlike the vast majority of retards who have the nerve 2 disrespect the American fighting men and women u 2 r just about the only ones who have a brain. People love 2 chew America out 4 Vietnam yet when this nation gives them a handout they r the first one in line HYPOCRITES!
I LOVE HOW you guys come in here dissing america when i garuntee you everyone single one of you has come from a nation or lives in a nation who was in stupid wars like this France Germany Great britain Soviet union all have had there nonsence impossible wars
The US could not have won the war.If it had taken a thousand years the North Vietnamese would have carried on fighting until victory. I think it is sad that all them people died for a war that could never be win by the US.
The US was not committed to the war in Vietnam, the people were divided and the govt never gave the troops the full support on the ground. The US govt wanted millions of dead NVA/VC but never supported the destruction of North Vietnamese army, it seemed they wanted the war to last as long as possible without pushing WW3 and without winning completely. That was the strategy, keep it going without any victors.
i am a vietnam .... fuckin vietcong fuckin vietnam communist ... fuckin ho chi mnih and fuckin north bac ki.... u all dun noe anything u all vietcong r a lier fuckin north vietnam who attack my south vietnam fuck u all vietcong... HCM = hon cac mao
@alinprowata You lost Yank's ass to lick,that's why you hate them,VC fought for independent and united of Vietnam,while you are collaborators.fuck you,bastards
@alinprowata well US tried to help, but bc of pussy ass tree huggers like some of the people who have been posting on here obviously are the reason we had to leave
randy90253, your blue eyed boys killed a couple of million people - didyou want to kill some more - nuke them or use mustard gas in addition to the other -how could the rules of engagement have helped you further!?
I have nothing but respect for the US service men (and women) who served in Vietnam. Our intentions truly were good, but with our Rules Of Engagement we could NOT have won the war in 100 years. I was in high school when we pulled out of Vietnam and I have friends who served. Our little town in Central California "only" lost 4 young men. I've always felt somewhat betrayed by our Gov't for fighting the war the way we did. God Bless all who served...
why? america had no right to be there, didnt win, killed millions of vietnamese, sacrificed thousands of americans, didnt stop communism and were left ultimately humilated. respect for what? god bless all who died for nothing??
@50poiuyt Oh shut the fuck up. The reasons were there the northern viecom homos wanted all communist so shut the fuck up im sick of you tree huggers, S Vietcom was happy until we left we fought for a reason.. GO HANG YOURSELF
@vtecivicsib18 You have big mouth about democracy but support the most dirty dictator .Shame on you.We do not give you the right stick nose into your business.
@50poiuyt And you are just plain stupid, you see what you want to see America didnt belong there o0h just shut the hell up and go join that group of cry babys worried about seeing his own shadow.. your truly pathetic. you are not american, you need to go back to where you came from
@randy95023 you are right. I think the main reason why the United States lose the war because we didn't study or care about the Vietnamese people. Vietnamese fought the Chinese for 1000 years and the French for 100 years then they fought the Japanese all the sake of independent. The United States entered the war with the main goal of stopping communist influences, however we give into consideration that the Vietnamese want independent for more than 1000 years.
dilusional idiot...how dare you glorify it? how dare you think good of going into a foreign country that is sovereign and indipendent, then commiting crimes against humanity, leaving the country in ruins and chaos and then saying you praise the criminals who did it?
americans need to feel a bloody war on their own home, they need to feel what its like to have bombs raining on them, to get gunned down by helicopters and to be sent to concentration camps in foreign lands
@MilitantOldLady Rly think thay would come? not just the army but the street gangs aint taking shit you think there going to take shit from foreign faggots? Fuck no....
ur hole generations a faggot!! how about that you junkie. what would you no about war. I'm sure if i had a shotgun stuck up your ass you would've wanted a foreign to bend you over instead. its people like you that would keep racialism alive. get a life and grow some balls and stop watching to much movies.
@MilitantOldLady hey fuck head, its called a "civil war" and we had one :) so go fuck yourself. communism needs to die because it has always led to atrocities throughout the world
no you didnt...the people about 140 years ago did...you are so different from those people that you cant even be conciderd the same country...hell, even the people who fought in ww2 would be ashamed and upset what the country they gave their lives for has become....you have absolutely nothing to be proud of
@MilitantOldLady and you do? 1.) learn how to fuckin spell "considered". 2.) not all of us are like the crazy assholes your associating all of us with, a few retards fuck it up for everybody. my grandpa fought in ww2 as an army engineer, and my uncle served in Vietnam, and i want to be an Army Ranger when i gratuate next year, so i think i have a right to speak here. we were trying to help south vietnam and stop the flow of communism. the soldiers should be respected at the very least.
@MilitantOldLady dont call someone a "dillusional idiot" just because they are saying we could have won if we had changed things up a little. and adding to the fact that he is thanking those who served in that hellhole.
why would you thank them? what for? Vietnam was a pointless proxy war in the grand scheme of the west showing the east how big its cock is...and in the process fucking over the Vietnamese people who wanted none of it in the first place....they didnt even know why the americans were there and the americans didnt even let them know why...you just go about "liberating" people who end up having it worse than they did before the US decided to improve their lives with some bombing
oh ya know what im sorry.....were u there? no...didnt think so you fuckin tree hugger. the soldiers were just doing what was ordered of them to do. you are one of the many stupid hippies who hate soldiers obviously. go back to the fuckin hole you crawled out of a smoke a little more dope. stupid bitch, i can guarantee the US's dick is alot bigger than whatever piss ant country your from. at least we try to help, you dumb fuck. just go be stupid, its what your good at
no, it proves that all you know about war comes from video games and movies, that you have poor history knowledge, follow blindly and know verry little about the world
@MilitantOldLady while i do enjoy the occasional video game and movie, it doesnt prove anything. for one, im still in High School, and have taken every AP history class they offer. World history, US history, government, economics, world geography, and i genuinely enjoy history. now, you obviously have either forgotten or are forgetting your own countrys history, its not much better than mines.
i am well aware of my countries history...i am not ashamed of it because unlike yours, we never bullshitted the world as to what our intentions were...as a nation, we are all aware of it and we all learned from it...you seem not to, because for the past 70 years, you keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again...
@MilitantOldLady well then you apparently know it all. damn, lets all bow down to you and praise your knowledge of history. gosh, your so smart, i wish i was as smart as you
here's some advice for you...learn as much as you can, never stop learning...dont follow, travel, go abroad, see the world, learn about it...dont trust and believe in good leadership by the people in power, because they are mostly in it for themselves...never join the military, because unless you are actually defending your verry home, you are being lied to
@MilitantOldLady ok, that makes sense and i thank you for it. and i have actually put thought into the military. the only reason i was joining was to do that very thing to defend my family and loved ones. fuck my government, i hate my government....especially now with Obama bc hes stupid. i love to learn, except math...fuck math.
@MilitantOldLady uh i misspelled a couple of words, i retyped the whole thing just with the correct spelling now. and "dense" has nothing to do with it.
@MilitantOldLady and ok, cool, they are literally the same fuckin thing except for one sentence so whatever i really dont care. people like you really make the world a shittier place to live in
orly? people who question a self imposed global extortionist country, that interferes with sovereign nation's political affairs and starts wars on its own reasoning and justification, are what makes the world a shittier place to live in? are you genuenly believing yourself?
if anything, i ought to accuse you of ruining the world for the rest of us, by not doing the same
@MilitantOldLady ya know what. this conversation is stupid. you obviously want to believe the load of horseshit thats comin out of your mouth. so have fun believing it. nothing i say is gonna change you mind and nothing you say will change mine. i guess the saying "you cant change stupid" is true to both of us
do you think i will let you off that easy? i guess i will just take my well constructed and factually backed statements and shove them up my arse, because you seem to challenge those with belief?
you cant believe or disbelieve historic facts...you either know them and understand them, or you dont
i challenge you to show me exactly what is stupid about the facts i listed to you...or are you afraid they would undermine your fragile outlook on the world?
@MilitantOldLady ok, i tried to be nice, but now youve pissed me off. you may have your facts right about us, but lets look at the hundreds of years that the UK ruled over so many people. that didnt go much better. ur country and mine are one in the same, i have no fragile outlook on the world, i try to look at the bright side of things. but honestly, it gets really fucking irritating when people like you come on here and bash my country. would u act so differently if it was yours?
100 years ago, the world was a very different place...global relations were done very differently...countries were for the most part still in the rule of monarchy and because of the industrial revolution, it was in everyone's best interest to expand and gather up an empire...with the end of ww2, everyone but the US realised that being a global tyrant does not work anymore and that everyone has to pull together...which is the exact opposite to what "you" were up to ever since
@MilitantOldLady ok, first off, dont say "you". im not america, america is america, i am an american, im not america. but yeah, i see what you mean. but what im trying to ask you to answer is "why shouldnt we thank our soldiers for giving their lives?" why? answer that one question and i will leave you alone so you can go fuck up someone elses day. you have my word
@MilitantOldLady i dont like arguing, i think its stupid and gets everyone nowhere. it never has and never will. i believe in swinging fists, that settles shit. especially where im from. i may be a down home southern boy who loves to hunt, fish, play football, and all that, but the fact that your so arrogant pisses me off. honestly, it does.
and let me enlighten you further...the soldiers went there, because if they refused, they got sent to the stockade, denied baisc human rights and by law, were liable to being shot for treason...later on, they got drafted, so they had no say in joining or not whatsoever, if they refused, read the above....the civilians that protested, were "dealt with" in much the same way...research a bit into the Ohio war protests and see how those turned out...some freedom you have
unless you are the member of the Bush family, like your bright spark of an ex president...who because of his father's ties got to ditch the war, by not even showing up for duty in the national guard...while the working class kids from towns noone ever heard of before were sent to certain death....just like they are today, because they get recruited from towns with such poor social and economic standards, that they have no other choise but to be exploited
@MilitantOldLady you really are that clueless.....what does bush have to do with a common american like myself? i mean really....my uncle served in vietnam and your telling me not to thank him for serving in the military. bush has nothing to do with any of us. we were deliberately attacked by al-qaeda, which killed 3000 innocent people. we have every right to be in afghanistan....well not anymore since bin laden is dead but u get my point.
@MilitantOldLady oh ya know what im sorry.....were u there? no...didnt think so you fuckin tree hugger. the soldiers were just doing what was ordered of them to do. you are one of the many stupid hippies who hate soldiers obviously. go back to the fuckin hole you crawled out of a smoke a little more dope. stupid bitch,. at least we try to help, you dumb fuck. just go be stupid, its what your good a
@MilitantOldLady Calm down. We were trying to stop communism from entering South Vietnam. War crimes are committed by all armies in very single war fought in human history, don't single out the United States.
@MilitantOldLady yeah they did just fine unless you were one of the boat people-you ethnic cleansing conducted by No Vietnam that resulted in what 300,000 deaths at sea? And of course they did reduce unemployment --by opening up lots of reeducation camps--who'd a thought huh...
@MilitantOldLady yeah they did great under communism unless you were one of the millions who ended up in a concentration camp--oh excuse me, i mean reeducation camp.
there were no such camps in vietnam....surely you mean Cambodia, under the Kmer Rouge regime....Vietnam is still under communist rule and they are one of the fastest growing economies in the world right now, where as yours is in a recession and stagnation, that caused the rest of the world to follow suit....in fact, the US is the country that has concentration camps, if you havent been up to date with the past decade
@MilitantOldLady you say there were no concentration camps a.k.a. reeducation camps in Vietnam under communist rule? Ah that is absurd and I can't think of any serious human rights org that would agree with you. Just because they call it 'reeducation' camps doesn't make it less concentration camp. I see you ignore the ethnic cleansing of Chinese in Vietnam...no surprise there. Indeed, if Vietnam was so desirable with the north's takeover--why did so many try to leave?
@MilitantOldLady yeah the traffic is all one way--how Americans try to move to Vietnam and how many Vietnamese want to move to USA? That is a rhetorical question I might add.
@MilitantOldLady Yeah Vietnam economy is doing great--the advantages of a one party state which organizes labor like a team of oxen to serve low cost production needs of global corps---thanks! I will remember you the next time I put on some Nike's made in Vietnam! By the way as bad as USA recession may be the living standards of average USA person is still far higher than their counterparts in the workers paradise.
thats because your illegal invasion and rampant human rights abuse sets any country you try to "help" back at least 30-50 years you idiot...and dont even think of trying to talk politics, you also only have a 2 party system that is basically the same bullshit for the past 200 years...the Nike factories are US owned, exploiting the work force in a country they brought to its knees...if i were you, id apologize to the world every morning for being american
@MilitantOldLady I feel like I am communicating with a Holocaust denier; you are like some kinda left wing version of David Irving. You tawk of USA illegal invasions and ignore Vietnam's illegal invasion of Cambodia let alone that Hanoi broke an agreement (Paris Peace Accords) signed in front of zillions of people watching on TV when she invaded south Vietnam. So much for the virtues on communism.
@MilitantOldLady yeah Nike is Americano---That is my point slow one--your worker's paradise in Ho Chi Minh CIty allows USA corps into your communist utopia to exploit the workers to the maximum---yeah there's your econ progress under communism--exactly what would have happened under if ROV remained in existence
wait, ill get a blanket and some cocoa, then you can tell me how you won ww2, helped jesus off the cross and saved the unicorns from the evil evil moslems
@MilitantOldLady That is Muslims not Moslesm --the latter that you use is offensive to Muslims since it is a Victorian Era/Brit speak --but then you are the big expert aren't you? As far as evil Muslims go--I am guessing you aren't a woman right? I am guessing you aren't Jewish right?
what is up with you and jews? you poked them into the argument twice now...i cont give a flying toss about them or the holocaust...as if everything is about them...and i will continue to say moslems because that is how they were called here since always and they can be offended too for all i care, i bet they have plenty of derogatory remarks for us that they use on a regular basis, but nobody can tell because hey, who speaks arabic or irani, right? you bleeding heart you
@MilitantOldLady I only mentioned it because your views on the People's Socialist Republic of Vietnam or whatever they call themselves is the same as Holocaust deniers about Germany under Hitler--it's called denial of the historical record. Yeah go ahead and use Moslem if you like--late Victorianism probably suits you. And don't forget to put the tin foil hat before you go to bed--keeps the CIA mind control rays out ....
here's a key question to you...have you ever been to vietnam?
I certainly have a few years ago, if you like i can email you the photos...i went from the north all the way down to the south, never saw any remains of concentration camps anywhere and only friendly faces...and a people who came to terms with their past and are moving on with great speed as opposed to you lot who keep revisiting your worst atrocities against the world with disturbing glee
@MilitantOldLady actually there are a lot of parties in USA...in my state of CA 4 parties are always on the ballot--Dem, Reps, Peace and Freedom (socialist) and American Indep (right wing) plus other parties that gain ballot status on their own---if people don't want to vote for them that's their business but they do have the option.
Besides, if your American superiors ever were in a position to be bombed by someone, as england has many times, who would protect you the next time the germans rearm? and they will rearm. okay, now take a laxative to take the edge off, and get some rest you hysterical old bat
make sure next time I am in england my beer is cold, not room temperature, which is the wrong way to serve beer, understand?
@MilitantOldLady shut up man.....we had no business there but we glorify the people that came back not the people who had kids throwing bombs at us u dumb ass wow people now days unreal next he is gonna say ww2 wasnt hitlers fault.
well i'm not sure that analysis makes any sense. Americans lost that war and Vietnam is still communist today. Laos and China are the only other two communist countries in that part of the world, and China was communist long before Vietnam. The dominoe theory hasn't really played out in reality
remember these men when youre playing these stupid fucking video games. this shit is as real as it gets and you ungratefull fucks cry like babies when you have to do any kind of child level work
The problem is that USA public traditionally expects "short" and decisive wars--that couldnt be the case with this kind of war which would have taken perhaps 20 years to 'win'. Americans just aren't used to that kind of warfare.

no you didnt...the people about 140 years ago did...you are so different from those people that you cant even be conciderd the same country...hell, even the people who fought in ww2 would be ashamed and upset what the country they gave their lives for has become....you have absolutely nothing to be proud of

@MilitantOldLady and you do? 1.) learn how to fuckin spell "considered". 2.) not all of us are like the crazy assholes your associating all of us with, a few retards fuck it up for everybody. my grandpa fought in ww2 as an army engineer, and my uncle served in Vietnam, and i want to be an Army Ranger when i gratuate next year, so i think i have a right to speak here. we were trying to help south vietnam and stop the flow of communism. the soldiers should be respected at the very least.

@MilitantOldLady dont call someone a "dillusional idiot" just because they are saying we could have won if we had changed things up a little. and adding to the fact that he is thanking those who served in that hellhole.

@FilmsDevastation
why would you thank them? what for? Vietnam was a pointless proxy war in the grand scheme of the west showing the east how big its cock is...and in the process fucking over the Vietnamese people who wanted none of it in the first place....they didnt even know why the americans were there and the americans didnt even let them know why...you just go about "liberating" people who end up having it worse than they did before the US decided to improve their lives with some bombing

@MilitantOldLady while i do enjoy the occasional video game and movie, it doesnt prove anything. for one, im still in High School, and have taken every AP history class they offer.

here's some advice for you...learn as much as you can, never stop learning...dont follow, travel, go abroad, see the world, learn about it...dont trust and believe in good leadership by the people in power, because they are mostly in it for themselves...never join the military, because unless you are actually defending your verry home, you are being lied to
MilitantOldLady 9 months ago
@MilitantOldLady ok, that makes sense and i thank you for it. and i have actually put thought into the military. the only reason i was joining was to do that very thing to defend my family and loved ones. fuck my government, i hate my government....especially now with Obama bc hes stupid. i love to learn, except math...fuck math.

@MilitantOldLady ok, i tried to be nice, but now youve pissed me off. you may have your facts right about us, but lets look at the hundreds of years that the UK ruled over so many people. that didnt go much better. ur country and mine are one in the same, i have no fragile outlook on the world, i try to look at the bright side of things. but honestly, it gets really fucking irritating when people like you come on here and bash my country. would u act so differently if it was yours?

@FilmsDevastation
100 years ago, the world was a very different place...global relations were done very differently...countries were for the most part still in the rule of monarchy and because of the industrial revolution, it was in everyone's best interest to expand and gather up an empire...with the end of ww2, everyone but the US realised that being a global tyrant does not work anymore and that everyone has to pull together...which is the exact opposite to what "you" were up to ever since

@MilitantOldLady ok, first off, dont say "you". im not america, america is america, i am an american, im not america. but yeah, i see what you mean. but what im trying to ask you to answer is "why shouldnt we thank our soldiers for giving their lives?" why? answer that one question and i will leave you alone so you can go fuck up someone elses day. you have my word

@MilitantOldLady i dont like arguing, i think its stupid and gets everyone nowhere. it never has and never will. i believe in swinging fists, that settles shit. especially where im from. i may be a down home southern boy who loves to hunt, fish, play football, and all that, but the fact that your so arrogant pisses me off. honestly, it does.

@FilmsDevastation
and let me enlighten you further...the soldiers went there, because if they refused, they got sent to the stockade, denied baisc human rights and by law, were liable to being shot for treason...later on, they got drafted, so they had no say in joining or not whatsoever, if they refused, read the above....the civilians that protested, were "dealt with" in much the same way...research a bit into the Ohio war protests and see how those turned out...some freedom you have

@MilitantOldLady yeah they did just fine unless you were one of the boat people-you ethnic cleansing conducted by No Vietnam that resulted in what 300,000 deaths at sea? And of course they did reduce unemployment --by opening up lots of reeducation camps--who'd a thought huh...

@MilitantOldLady yeah they did great under communism unless you were one of the millions who ended up in a concentration camp--oh excuse me, i mean reeducation camp.
555paint 5 days ago
@555paint
there were no such camps in vietnam....surely you mean Cambodia, under the Kmer Rouge regime....Vietnam is still under communist rule and they are one of the fastest growing economies in the world right now, where as yours is in a recession and stagnation, that caused the rest of the world to follow suit....in fact, the US is the country that has concentration camps, if you havent been up to date with the past decade
MilitantOldLady 5 days ago
@MilitantOldLady you say there were no concentration camps a.k.a. reeducation camps in Vietnam under communist rule? Ah that is absurd and I can't think of any serious human rights org that would agree with you. Just because they call it 'reeducation' camps doesn't make it less concentration camp. I see you ignore the ethnic cleansing of Chinese in Vietnam...no surprise there. Indeed, if Vietnam was so desirable with the north's takeover--why did so many try to leave?

thats because your illegal invasion and rampant human rights abuse sets any country you try to "help" back at least 30-50 years you idiot...and dont even think of trying to talk politics, you also only have a 2 party system that is basically the same bullshit for the past 200 years...the Nike factories are US owned, exploiting the work force in a country they brought to its knees...if i were you, id apologize to the world every morning for being american

So much for the virtues on communism.
