A loss is a loss. We lost Vietnam, we lost it because we never wanted to win it, but we still lost.

You need to get your facts straight before using your blow hole. We did not lose the military war in Vietnam. We pulled out of Vietnam because a bunch of liberal lawmakers in D.C. had no stomach for it any longer and LBJ had screwed up the war by trying to run the damned thing from 15,000 miles away. The troops in the field kicked the reds asses. We lost about 58,000 troops. They lost a couple of million. We beat their ass. You can whine all you want to about we lost the war, but the military did not lose. The military was pulled out. We abandoned the South Vietnamese and left them to be murdered. THAT was done by puss sucking politicians, in D.C. Not the troops in the field. We won the military war. We lost the political war. The military was not responsible for the political war.

“What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media w as definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!”

We lost Vietnam, we lost it because we never wanted to win it, ...Oh, horseshit. Who is the collective WE?
