@sammybadminton101 NO,AMERICA WANTED TO OCCUPY THE COUNTRY,BUT DUE TO THE RESISTANCE THEY ENCOUNTERED,THEY WANTED TO TURN IT OVER TO THE VIETNAMESE(VIETNAMIZATION) IMAGINE IF THE PUPPETS IN THE SOUTH HAD WON,THEN AMERICA WOULD HAVE BUILT A PERMANENT BASE THERE JUST LIKE THE IMPERIALISTS THEY ARE! THEY WENT OVER THERE TO BE A THORN IN CHINA'S SIDE.THEY REALLY WASN'T CONCERNED OVER THE VIETNAMESE.MCNAMARA EVEN SAID THAT THE FEAR OF THE COMMUNISM OVER THERE WAS MADE UP TO SEND FORCES THERE.

@GothicKnight81 Spoken like a true Soviet holdover whose own military wasn't worth a shit then or now.

@kdolo100 whatever bro

[kdolo100]

@living117 You have a good one too,but before i close,i have to say that china&america are competing.China got the largest army,population,and just came out with an aircraft carrier, and of course america is very much concerned.They're not allies i can assure u.

@kdolo100 HAHAHAHAHAHA oh my god "America is no more" what are you an 80s villain haha oh and china and America are allies the cold war ended a while a go bro their is no steaming conflict oh man at first I thought you were a dick but now i see your just bat shit crazy hahaha ok bud you have a good one

[kdolo100]

@living117 Your papers,and even cnn said that america bribed some people over there.Go figure.Recent article said that 360 million in cash has been lost to the taliban,crimals,etc. As i've said on korea in the past,they went because china was the threat,the real threat.I'm pro-china so we all see now that america is no more.Carry on.

[living117]

@kdolo100 we never left Iraq we steam rolled through it without bribes and over through the government which to be honest wasn't that smart because that created all the riots and stuff and when we realized we fucked up we had to stay to help rebuild yes the Taliban is still at large but with the death of osama bin laden and the help of the locals we have been making serious progress and as for Korea once again we went their to contain COMMUNISM not china we just like china so please stop talking

[kdolo100]

@living117 You paid bribes to those in iraq to stop fighting you.That country is not stable,and their puppet government is a sham.You left there with your tale tucked,but try to save face saying it was a success.The taliban are nowhere near finished,they're still fighting after 9yrs.Korea happened because america wanted to contain china like i said in an earlier post.You were almost wiped out over there,then negotiated for that dmz.

[living117]

@kdolo100 first off Iraq we succeed in our mission and the only reason were still their is to stabilize the regime we are currently engaged in Afghanistan to root out the Taliban which we are also succeeding at and as for Korea we went to keep communism from spreading to the south not to attack the north and guess what we did....succeeded and as for Vietnam after we left and the north won they switched to capitalism which was what America wanted so think before you speak please :)

[kdolo100]

@living117 Again,this is all history now.You only won mjor engagements;thats it. Reach down,grab a pair and accept defeat.Not just in vietnam,but in korea,iraq&afghanistan.Silly american.

[living117]

@kdolo100 skirmishes is the key word most times the Americans would have much less casualties and gain more ground but we would then leave the area after the battle once again you would know this if you didn't have your head up your ass and also its not propaganda its me telling you the honest to goodness truth

[kdolo100]

@living117 No they didn't,my mom's cousin was there near the dmz and said they lost many skirmishes.You mean america won every major battle.Other than that how many times did u hug the ground because of being ambushed? You dont have enough hands to count.You're a propaganda sponge.The only thing that saved the day was airpower.Duh.
