While I am very,very liberal in my political beliefs,I have nothing but the UPMOST respect for those who fought in Vietnam. True heroes on both sides of the fence. Some of the toughest and most horrible conditions ever faced by soldiers from both sides. My respect goes out to all of ya. Peace.

we beat them so badly we had to lie about winning

[sass225]

At least in a battle like LLZ Xray We were fighting an enemy army and not creating more insurgents by blowing up a village. americas firepower while it kept americans alive in combat Taking the same hills just to give them back didnt make much sense to my uncles who were there

@OrthodoxDarwinist They didnt want to hit chinesse and russian ships or kill there people and make the war wider than it was. America didn't understand that ussr,china while both communist had there own agendas

@andrelebaron

So the head of SEALS in Vietnam whom I just read the academic book of at the library is a liar?

Secondly have you ever heard of a combined reason, as in these factors are not mutually exclusive at all?

Faggot.

@OrthodoxDarwinist it's funny because it's not true. they held off on bombing population centers because they didn't want the political consequences. they stayed away from haiphong because they didn't want incidents with the russians although nixon eventually decided fuck it and mined the harbour. now, if they'd wanted to wage air war like they did in japan they would have bombed the red river dikes right away.

@Leyenda1 There is an interview with him on the streets in VM he is actually stating the agenda for all to hear. He says the war is lost!!!!??

Yes it took me years but apparently Al Capp ( Lil Abner) hated Cronky and even had evil characters called Cronkitans.

The indoctrination by the media is none short of Pravda, filled with radicals in total ageement with the likes of William Ayers and the Weather movement.

@TR5T Don't get me started on that elitist, guilt-ridden White Liberal Cronkite. I loved watching him when I was 10 years old then I grew up and realized the truth.

@OrthodoxDarwinist

Not exactly true. A Soldier is to perform in accordance with the Rules of Land Warfare regardless of the circumstances. Whether its gets reported or not is another story entirely...
