I know enough to know that despite your chosen name, discussing this issue with you will be a waste of time. American money could no more have kept the government of S. Vietnam afloat than it could have kept the government of Chiang Kai-Shek afloat in China. If a government cannot govern, no externally supported military victory can sustain it once the supporting military force is removed.

That war was lost the moment we allowed the British to reintroduce French troops to Indochina.

You know nothing about Viet Nam. ... Everything You think You know about VN is BS.

Thats not very conducive for educating someone (like me) who really does not know much about that era. Perhaps, if you could stick to what you consider facts, and corroborate them, that might help me understand better.

cheers, kumar
