The Koreans wanted to be saved from the Communist north. That was not completely true in South Viet Nam.

Check out A Bright Shining Lie." It's about John Paul Vann and Viet Nam. Great book.

Check out A Bright Shining Lie....

That's the one the local hard-left idiot, Bob Buzzanco, goes on about in his over-the-air lecture series on the history of Vietnam, the last 2/3's of which he spends gloating over America's loss of the war. One of Buzzanco's favorite texts. Why do you recommend it to Freepers? To "convert" us to the Truth laid down by the Left -- in Fire in the Lake, or in Terzi's onanistic Communist victory-gloat?

Bright Shining Lie is a sorry and dishonest book.


Michael Lind The Neccessary War
Lewis Sorely The Better War

In 1972 with only US advisors, the USAF, and no divisional size US presence, the ARVN defeated the NVA's Easter Offensive with only the advisors and the USAF's help.
