the war was fucked up on all directions. an enemy that tortured its prisoners, a good number of soldiers who let their "manhood" get the best of them, improper command by the commander(s) in chief, hippies, and lies spread by the media. Another time that may be better if it just slipped into the proverbial cracks of modern society.

Following that withdrawal, the US Congress then passed legislation prohibiting any further support to S. Vietnam in November of 1973. In May of 1975, N. Vietnam broke that PEACE Treaty and attacked S. Vietnam with 17 Division armed by China and supported by Soviet armor and Soviet & Chinese air assets. The SV had little resources left to defend against such an attack. The US Congress abandoned SV at the cost of more than amillion lives.

Hate to bust your bubble sport, but the US didn't give up in S. Vietnam (SV). In 1972, N. Vietnam (NV) launched a TET offensive at the DMZ near Quang Tri to which the US provided Artillery and NGFS, but NO Combat Troops. It was repelled by SV armed forces for nearly a year before NV finally agreed to negotiate a PEACE Treaty. All US Combat Troops were withdrawn from SV on 29 March of 1973 in compliance with that PEACE Treaty to which all parties agreed and signed on Jan 29, 1973.

I was TAD to a ZIPPO boat it had 2 flamethrowers port an starboard bufors 40mm in a turret 6 gun positions with twin 50 forward. This was Song Rat Interdiction zone and I was on a floating flamethrower tank. It was the safest place on earth. This boat would take a B40 rocket broadside. VC knew we would be coming and they would split never a shot taken the whole time on it.

... US 'reporters' and... ugh, these public scrumm 'teachers' are assholes and just plain fuckin' LIARS! The lot of 'em all, merely puppet and parROTS for their 'party'-just as the broadcasters of Radios Moscow, Habana and Hanoi did for theirs back then: All Marxists F-U-C-K them all! The Day of Reckoning is fast approaching... That war was won the moment TET ended: NVA & VC forces went conventional and they lost the strategic and tatical bet- The American POLITICIANS(liberals)LOST this in DC!

@starlionblue The US won most of it's battles in Vietnam (apart from one where the enemy sent amphibious tanks through terrain the US army deemed impassable and nearly killed off a ranger camp. But they didn't win the war. COIN tactics were required, but not well enough used. Unfortunately the same thing then went on to happen in the mideast. Giant facepalm.

The Navy boys took heavy hits in Nam and we are doing our part today. Not just corpsmen (God bless them) but everywhere.
-
Really? What do they do?
-
This war could have been won, but the media wasn't exactly helping... nor did Hanoi Jane.
-
@starlionblue school teachers are idiots... they are mere sophists and power hungry fools whose sole aim is to gain control rather than enlighten.
-
Interesting, thank you for your insight.

@armor452 Revisionist history 101. The US invaded Indochina! (Just kidding) After WWII the US drove the Japanese out and returned it to the French which pissed off Uncle Ho they drove out the French, in 1958 "Advisers" helped the South to keep Communist at bay, 1965 an "attack" on a US Navy destroyer became the catalyst for L B J to send in the 1st Cav. (Air Mobile) the rest as they say is history
