despite losing the goddamn war in Vietnam

What ever gave you that idea?
We won the war. Remember the Paris Accords? The North Vietnamese surrendered...then two years later AFTER we'd pulled out...AFTER the democrats went back on their word having cut off all supply , the South Vietnamese run out of "bullets" and were over run.

Kinda like benghazi.

Sort:  

I did think about putting in the statement that the war was won on the battlefield, a military ^ tactical victory, but lost on American TV... a subversive and strategic defeat.

It would have overcomplicted an already complicated post.

Remember the Paris Accords? The North Vietnamese surrendered...then two years later AFTER we'd pulled out...AFTER the democrats went back on their word having cut off all supply , the South Vietnamese run out of "bullets" and were over run.

The North Vietnamese used more armor then we put ashore during the Normandy invasion.

I agree with you that the troops on the ground did their part, and won their war. The politicians lost the war.

I still contend that we won the war.
South Viet Nam was over run AFTER we had pulled out.
AFTER all parties involved had signed the Paris Peace Accords.
We had nothing to do with it.

We still had a treaty with the South Vietnamese, which the politicians reneged upon.

I understand what you are saying, and agree with it about 90%.

Doesn't change that the North accomplished their war goal, and the United States, which less than 20 years before had a firm boot on the neck of our domestic communists, did not achieve their goals; having been subverted by those same communists

We also had a treaty with the North Vietnamese...
they tested it to see how serious we were..
and found out that we weren't serious at all.
then took over SVietNam....and slaughtered thousands...(or more)

but we WON the war...this happened AFTER the war was over.

If England were to be taken over today..does that mean we lost WWII?
same thing.

the best way for a country to get shanked is to sign an agreement with us guaranteeing security...and then the democong get elected...

holding my position; the troops did their job and defended South Vietnam... and speaking of backstabbing, the politicians turned right around and sold everybody out

AFTER the troops won the war...the politicians turned right around and sold everybody out

it's insane isn't it?

the nation was divided, and there was no internet to counter the lies of the left

yup...I din't find out what happened until decades later.
The MSNM was complicit...as usual.
They've been the propaganda arm of the Dhmikrats since AT LEAST before Walter Cronkite.
much before.

anyone who wants to regulate the internet is NOT your friend.
