Re: Could We Have Won Vietnam?
[ QUOTE ]
Which military experts? The ones who constantly lied to us and were wrong every step of the way? The younger posters here are probably most familiar with Bill Clinton's duplicity, but he was an amateur compared to the pathological liars who ran the Johnson and Nixon administrations. [/ QUOTE ] Not even close. Clinton wouldnt know the truth if it was kneeling under his desk. |

Re: Could We Have Won Vietnam?
illini43-
i pretty much agree with you, my main point was that is was pretty ignorant to accuse people saying we should have stayed of idiocy when there is seems that there could easily be an argument for staying when 1+ million were slaughtered after you left. |

[/ QUOTE ] FYP [/ QUOTE ] That definitely is part of the equation that led to the rise of the Khmer Rouge, but its not like Viet Cong weren't in Cambodia or anything. To say that the bombing was the only factor in the rise of the Khmer Rouge is either trollish or ignorant. The viet cong were in Cambodia before and after the bombings and cambodia wasn't exactly stable before that either. |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Our political goals in Vietnam were not met. [/ QUOTE ] You know this how? [/ QUOTE ] Fine. Our stated political goals in Vietnam were not met. [/ QUOTE ] The real goal was to prevent Vietnam from becoming socially and economically prosperous and independent as to not act as a model for other states. The terroist campaign of the US military was a huge success in this regard and in regards to its litteral military accomplishments. [/ QUOTE ] Terrorist campaign of the U.S. military ehh ??????? I can't say what I want to you without getting banned. So have a nice day [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
