--“Defeatists” unfortunately are very loud and they are all over the place--
Kudos, JV, for carrying on the good fight. I'm with you 1000%.
Just like Vietnam, Defeatists are trying to turn victory into a loss, and gloat about it later. After the Paris Peace Accords, there was a basic understanding with the North that if they #$%@d with South Vietnam they'd get bombed back to the Paleolithic.
The only "loss" in Vietnam was after the wussiest Congress in history (up to now, perhaps) stabbed our ally in the back and stupidly voted to cut off ALL funding (not just military).
The worst thing that can happen now is for reasonable Americans to similarly jump on the MaimScream Media's bandwagon, and join the UpChuck Hagels of the world in caving to the Defeatocrats.
That is the greatest fear.
