The booby traps and tenacity of the Japanese were no different.

Notice that it took TWO A-Bombs to end the war with Japan. We weren't about to do that in Vietnam. Also the war with Japan was a truly national struggle. Vietnam was something of a police action or that is how it was portrayed to be. Remember, the purpose of the Vietnam War was to stop communism. This could have been much more easily accomplished at the Bay of Pigs with just a little air support. You gotta know where to pick the fights and where to avoid them.

I assume when you said "we wern't about to do that", you meant the people back home or our troops, who was it that did not want to finish this war? The A-bombs were a horrible time in our past, but I can't help but think of the millions we saved by not backing down. JMO
