"America underestimated the Vietnamese and their capabilities and got an arse kicking as a result of their war in Vietnam."
the united states military did not lose the war in viet nam, i was in the 82nd airborne division at the time, and the VC and NVA never beat me.
the NVA and Vc losed tet, thier best offensive, and they losed the battle, never to do it again. read the accounts of the marines at HUE, then tell me again if we were the losers.
they begged the US to stop the bombing in private, begged! and by the time we left, the VC was a shattered fighting force.
congress lost the war, ted kennedy losed the war, the democrats losed the war, the south viets were also beating the NVA and VC, after we left, until congress voted to cut off the funding for the south viet army, after that it was just a matter of time, because you know what, china and russia did not stop supporting the north.
i look at the whole democratic party as the party of treason, from east to west, north to south, even in the american civil war, the democrats wanted to sign a peace treaty with the south, and make the southern states an independent country.
i wonder, can you picture the united states of america with out virginia, the caroliners, georgia, texas, and the other southern states? i cant, but thats what the democrats were willing to do, and tried to do.
there;s a time for peace, and a time for war, its now a time for war, and you will fight it, or, if you don't, then you bring the war to your children, and they will have to fight it, because there parents were to afraid to fight.
do you love your kids? then you better help them and fight!
because if you dont, your kids will be enslaved by the stalin and hilter wannabe's
that are in the world today. just waiting for thier chance.
nothing has changed in the human spirit from the past, i hope you will remember that.
