"There would have been no significant anti-war protests against Vietnam had we had competent
leadership at the outset, used overwhelming force, had we had a clear commitment as to why we were
there and known when the fighting would end. "

You obviously did not understand what you were protesting, as evidenced by the above remark.

We didn't use overwhelming force at the beginning. We started with advisors, then added more advisors, then added combat soldiers pretending to be advisors, then sent a few soldiers openly to take part in combat, then sent some more, and gradually built up.

Even after we built up, we didn't consistently use overwhelming force. We would for a time use a lot of force but we didn't keep the pressure up consistently, and we put a lot of limits on the way force was used.
