I do particularly like to be right. So go ahead and teach me about the events you reference. I hinestly promisee to pay attention and be open minded. I thought my comments about the Gulf of Tonkin and the Maine showed that.

Well if I mistaken you as a Liberal it could be because you just openly admitted that you particularly like to be right. More accurately stated, you have to be right. Which seems more often a liberal trait than conservative, from what I've observed anyway.

In my experience, the liberals are seldom right and almost always left.

Now weren't you going to enlighten me about history....?

I believe many in the defense industry thought we would totally over run and literally blow away the "little devils" and they would never know what hit them. we underestimated them much more than we did the Japanese 20+ years earlier.

Comments?

Old Dingus
run over them as was the case with Afghanistan and Iraq, after Russia had been there 10 years? sure we played the military complex and the defense industry at the expense of tax payers and soldiers lives ... in both cases

It's a lot harder to win the peace than it is to win the war.

COG, when the extent of your OP is once again nothing more than a recycled, reprint of some daily poster from an unknown hack [with no comments from you] then you lose the right to complain about the content of discussion.

By all means keep the pretty pictures coming, but let the adults talk without interruption.

Right or wrong: it was a lack of political will that led to the U.S. military defeat in Vietnam.

No insult intended. Just facts as I see them and an honest request.

Mr. Hankering, we seem to agree across the board. I did indicate (or tried) that I thought the U.S. underestimated the Japanese and their capabilities.

I am left to wonder whether the effortin Viet Nam was half hearted or whether it was the result of thinking we would roll over them.

I do fear that the "war industry" was greedily taking advantage to make big bucks at the cost of American lives.

Good men made heroic efforts and great sacrifices, but it was an otherwise black chapter in our history. It would be vry interesting to know how much Kennedy (pre-Tonkin), Johnson and Nixon actually knew and "when they knew it."

We were very naive about many things in Viet Nam.

Good discussion. Thank you.

There was, perhaps, a condescending belief on the part of many U.S. leaders that the U.S. could achieve its goals in Vietnam with a half-hearted military effort. But that half-hearted military effort was based on decisions made by cowardly politicians. If the politicians weren't willing to, or couldn't, lead the U.S. citizenry in a real war effort that could have achieved victory, then the decision to become involved was wrong from the outset. Gotta say Rumsfeld; hence Bush, did the same thing in Iraq.

You're a dumb-ass golem fuck trying to deflect from Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator's criminality, you hypocritical, lying, thread-hi-jacking dumb-fuck golem reprobate. Remediate your dumb-fuck golem ass, because you are again exhibiting your innate mental deficiency by not recognizing simple facts, you dumb-ass golem fuck.
