a lack of commitment to win the war totally, because that may have meant, in both NK and Vietnam's case, having to deal with China and possibly Russia. In Korea it obviously would have meant dealing with china as we were already at war with them. I'm convinced that we could have pushed China out of Korea but by the time that became possible they had started to dig in and to some extent people where growing tired of the war and so it was decided not to try it esp, because by agreement and deterence we could keep North Korea and China from attacking the south. (North Korea did make cross border raids but no serious invasions after the end of the Korean war). In Vietnam the situation was more complex because South Vietnam was less stable and had much longer land borders to try and protect. Also because we never had enough common ground with the communists to form a solid basis for negotiation. In Korea there where more political limits on use of force then there had been in WWI or WWII. In Vietnam the political limits increased even more. Tim
