Pull your head out of your fourth point of contact son, you simply have no grasp of reality or of the pragmatic. As far as the lower casualty count, go back to the statistical database for the Vietnam war in 1958 (our second year there) and you'll see the body count for the year - 2.

What I said, and I reiterate, is that the level of committment the insurgents have far exceeds their losses (just like the Viet Cong during the height of the conflict). This is always a losing proposition. Want proof? How in the hell did a ragtag group of mujahdeen get the best of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan?

Now go back to your dorm room a suck your thumb.

US aid?

Say, I wanted to ask you a question. When funding/authorization was cut off by the democrat Congress, how close was Hanoi to surrendering?
