[Jeff Chandler]

Vo Nguyen Giap in Viet-Nam defeated the greatest technological army of the 20th century with barefoot soldiers.

He didn't defeat the U.S.. After years of having the war run by Kennedy's (and then Johnson's) "Best and Brightest" Ivy League braintrust, the spoiled baby boomers, in conjunction with the traitorous news media and craven Democrat politicians, created an unstoppable political force which demanded that we retreat. If Giap had to confront a U.S. force commanded by military leaders, he would have been defeated handily.

His TET Offensive was a humiliating defeat for him, but Walter Crankcase portrayed it as a glorious victory.

[laconic]

Yes with regard to Giap, few generals had anyone as idiotic and classicly incompetent as Robert McNamara on the other side directing strategy and tactics. I told a friend of mine who served in the swamps for a year that McNamara now claims he was against the war; his response was he found that strange since he recalled McNamara as the individual who sent him to Vietnam.
