The Congress at the time would not give any money for weapons to the South Vietnamese. Once the “Watergate Congress” was in in 1974 there was never going to be any help from us for the South Vietnamese.
“America the Beautiful” would make a much better anthem than the current one.
No, it wouldn't.

Since Bill Press hates ‘Military Jargon’ and ‘Home of the Brave’ Stuff, how would he feel about this stanza in the song you just mentioned?
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
