I don’t think we could even get involved in a similar war these days. With 24 Hr News Station’s live reports of casualties our leaders would be forced to withdraw. Sad but that’s the way it is nowadays.

People shouldnt discount the endemic corruption of the South Vietnamese regime.
Professor Turgeson: Now, can someone tell me
why, in 1975 we pulled our troops out of Vietnam?
Student: The failure of Vietnamization to win popular support
caused an ongoing erosion of confidence
in the various American
but illegal
Saigon regimes.
Professor Turgeson: Is she right? Cause I know thats the popular version
of what went on there. I know a lot of people like to believe that. I wish I could, but I was there.
I wasnt here in a classroom
hoping I was right, thinking about it. I was up to my knees in rice paddies
with guns that didnt work, going up against Charlie
slugging it out with him, while pussies like you
were back here partyin, puttin headbands on
doin drugs, listening to the g*ddamn Beatle albums!

We won the Vietnam War.
Vietnam was lost 2 years later when the Democrats in Congress passed a bill that stated American military forces could not be employed in southeast Asia even if that meant not honoring our treaty with South Vietnam.
Ford never signed the bill but he honored it. This was the signal to the North Vietnamese to attack.
