"..the only war America lost."

We did not lose the war. There was a negotiated peace that was signed in Paris. Don't these goofs ever stop?

The military did not lose the conflict in SE Asia. The government did.

We should not have been there in the first place.

56,000 dead. For nothing.

Rip General....you were a patriot.

The Vietnam war was lost at home...not by the military.

That's nothing compared to the 1.6 million Vietnamese who died under communism.

Perhaps a minor detail for you, but we showed the commie pricks that we were willing to fight them anytime and anywhere on the earth, to serve the cause of freedom.

years ago, conservative lore included the thought that the death of Lin Piao in a plane crash in Mongolia while purportedly fleeing from Peking to Moscow, in 1969, broke the Red bloc-- he had supposedly been Moscow's man in Peking. Therefore, losing VN in '75 was a far different proposition than it might have been in '65. I'm ashamed to admit, I don't even know what either Nixon or Kissinger said about this.

We did not lose the "Vietnam War". We lost the Battle of Vietnam which was a battle of the Cold War which we ultimately won

RIP in peace General, you did your best despite bumbling leadership in Washington and a treasonous media.

You could not be more wrong. My comrades did not die in vain. Out of the horror of Vietnam emerged a great army.
