Really??
Then we've had no just cause to help any of our allies over the years. South vietnam was an ally, a protectorate, that asked us for help in their fight against communism. Being invaded and taken over by people they didnt like in plain english.
Kinda like england and france asked us for help in two world wars. As so many OTHERS have asked for help over the years.
Yeah, you try and stand up for those weaker then yourself against overbearing bullies you get a bloody nose once in awhile.
And what did the nice north vietnamese do to their brethern when they finaly took over the south???
Took all the prostitutes, lawyers, politicians and anyone with any kind of power includeing doctors and priests, lined em up against a wall and shot them. And anyone else that didnt toe the communist line.
Kinda the norm for communism and socialism. Take anyone that dos'ent comply or that might threaten your power base and you take them and their families out and shoot them. Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, Lennin, stalin, Ho Chi Minh, you get the idea?
So yeah, the south vietnamese asked us for help to try and prevent that.
And no we did'nt lose. The limp wristed isolationist, just like the ones we have now days, just raised enough heII it became VERY politicaly unpopular for us to be there. To get elected you had to be against it, politics at play. The politicians ran that 'police action', not the military.
The military had been able to run it like a war instead of a political hammer it would of been over a LOT sooner.
If we had ran WWII like we did vietnam the english and french would be speaking german right now.
We(our politicians) just got tired of it and pulled out. We didnt get beat, we just got tired of fighting among ourselves and quit.
Which is kinda whats going on in iraq and afghanistan. Politicians running the war and lot of folks at home cutting the legs out from under the military instead of supporting them. Same chit differant era.
'I' never ignore the facts. I know the facts, i grew up in and studied that era. Had the pleasure of counting down the months and weeks to the day id get to volunteer or get drafted.
Had a LOT of family that served there and i know what was going on. I KNOW the facts.
