more like vietnam presented that as a challenge. tactically, the American military had few battlefield defeats, and if they were sent to take a hill or a town, they did. BUT, there is a massive difference between “taking” and “holding”. and we couldn’t hold each strategically important spot forever. not that that the enemy was too much for them; more like it was a logistical nightmare of olympic proportions. not to mention the political aspect of it…
vietnam was a clusterfuck. we had the best damn military in the world led by a bunch of suits who didn’t know what their end goal was and barely knew their own ass from a hole in the ground. this affected nearly every aspect of how and when we fought, and it lost us the war.
