In the 1970s, John Kerry taught America how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Vietnam was a terrific victory for the USA and especially for those USA troops that fought and died there.

1. US Military established itself pre-eminent in the world.
2. In the end we left, not because we lost or were losing, but because it was really up to the Vietnamese to sort things out for themselves.
3. From what I hear and understand, the Vietnamese people, today, for the most part respect us if not love us.
4. Communism in Vietnam today is in name only.
5. Only a country as powerful and as confident as the United States could walk away from that conflict without killing everybody over there for no good reasons.
6. Things can not have turned out much better.
7. We won and we owe it to guys like you.
8. We did show them we are the best - by far - there is no arguements on this point. This losing thing is pure bs.
