You wrote: Also once you realize you're in a quagmire, don't dig in deeper, get out. Cut your losses fast. Wouldn't it have been great if we had "cut and ran" in 1968 instead of 1973? You are absolutely right! In case some folks have forgotten it or they were born during or after the Vietnam War, they will do well to note that first, President Johnson, and then President Nixon, refused to pull out of the Vietnam War when each had a chance to do so because neither of them wanted to be the first president in US history to lose a war! So, it was stupid pride that got America quagmired in Vietnam until July 1973. As I recall, the turning point of the war occurred in 1968 when the Vietnamese assumed the initiative after their successful Tet offensives that occurred simultaneously in various cities. From 1969 to early 1973 Americans were told again and again that the US was winning the war and that victory was in sight. All that came from Nixon, the infamous Republican crook and liar! To be sure, we are seeing shades of Nixon in Bush, now a well-known liar.
