We defeated the insurgency in 1968, irregular warfare by the north from 68-71 and the helped the ARVN beat the first conventional invasion in 1972. When Congress cut off support, the North attacked with four Corps in 1974, including armor, artillery and air support. It was too much for the ARVN.
There is a man who was in there and knows. Communists are very good at killing people who disagree. ARVN could NOT fight without equipment and ammo and airplane maintenance etc. The Democrats assassinated a country that we had bleed and paid for. The end came with the Cooper/ Church Amendment (in 75) to the budget cutting off the pathetic little we were sending TOTALLY. DEMOCRATS are totally to blame after 55,000 died — 125,000 AMERICANS!!wounded. 2.7 million served there. Over 300,000 ARVN died fighting for freedom AND WE CUT OFF THE MONEY? And this war is not even mentioned in any public school? See If I’m wrong!! 100% DEMOCRATS!!i DON’T KNOW HOW THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT.
