We should've won.
The US lost few major battles, we had a lot of support, and we had better gear.
The politicians and hippies screwed not just the whole region, but also every soldier who went. Even those who didn't want to go.
yeah, but you lost, we, the Vietnamese won, myself still surprise every time i hear the story. And how the hell did you guy lost the war? you had so many things that we didn't have.
We lost because our soldiers didn't have the support of the American public, and because the politicians wouldn't let soldiers do their job.
We weren't allowed to go into the neighboring countries, so the NVA would run there when things got hot. We also weren't allowed to fire the first shot half the time, and trying to win the hearts and minds was a waste of time.
trust me, the last thing you wanna do is to learn history in Vietnam, in my opinion, our history book is too... you know the one-side-story, they all make us the best and our enemies the worst. it's untrue, sometime. after every history class, I ask my father all over, and there come the truth, dark sides of Vietnam and our victory.
I'll take your word for it.
While it is a shame that your education was one-sided, it is very good that you have people who can tell you the true story.
You have actually given me so much insight already, and I must thank you for that.
