We lost the only battle that counted, the hearts and minds battle....
That is what they (people who think that Vietnam was lost by anti-war protesters) don't get. And they don't get that we NEVER could have won that battle. Especially after we picked up the French cause. It was, to put it politely, nuts. I've had people tell me, oh they know a Vietnamese in ... Detroit, wherever,... who was bitter that we let them down. Well, guess what, the French had some Vietnamese supporters, and the US inherited them. But they were a distinct minority of the population. And they didn't have the moral high ground in that battle.
Yeah, a lot of people died and were killed after we left. Well, duh, they had civil war and people died. What a shock. Ho was a butcher, some say. Do they call Lincoln a "butcher"? Jefferson Davis? Lee? Grant? Sherman? |
