"I shiver at the thought of all the American soldiers who sacrificed their lives because our politicians and military leaders didn't have the good common sense to formulate US policy to fit the reality, not their own naive sense of international decorum."

OR if not deemed winnable at an acceptable cost in both men and treasure, not to have not gotten involved at all.
I agree NV and VC sucked. I agree that SVN offered a better deal than communism did but i question how manageable your expansion of the war would have been, particularly to our relations with russia and china. Just as in iraq, i question whether some things are possible or not. I think vietnam wasnt even if we expanded the war per your suggestions but in iraq it may have been if we had run it right from the getgo. Time is running out there.
