Could We Have Won Vietnam?

[lehighguy]

Well Vietnam was independent from China from the 11th century to the 18th century. France controlled Vietnam in the same way we did, they controlled all the major cities but the countriside was full of guerillas that attack them every day. If guerillas are attacking you everyday how in control are you?

Prussia never lost a battle against poland and the pols still won. None of the presidential candidates understand history...to do so would disqualify them from the position they seek.
