>>> One thing many people never mentioned was that
Vietnam was considered to be a pushover and the war would be over in a relatively short time. <<<

That may be true by those on the outside but, according to Dr Ellsberg, Of The Pentagon Papers fame, the insiders knew it was a war they couldn't win even before it started.

Speaking for myself, as a former Marine during that time, my frustration came from the politicians not allowing the military to pick targets and fight. There were many military targets that Americans weren't allowed to bomb or retaliate against.

Very frustrating times.
