Who the he!! wrote this crap " It did massive damage but, as history later revealed, the United States underestimated the commitment of the Vietnamese people to unified self government and overestimated their commitment to Communism.

What happened was that the Democratic Congress refused to give the South Vietnamese military support to which they were entitled and left them at the mercy of the communists supported by China and Russia. The fact is that the bastards betrayed an ally.

Whoever wrote this crap needs to be fired. Military.com better do a better job

"Is she right? 'Cause I know that's the popular version of what went on there. And a lot of people like to believe that. I wish I could, but I was there. I wasn't here in a class room, hoping I was right, thinking about it. [shouting] I was up to my knees in rice paddies, with guns that didn't work! Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him, while pussies like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the gd Beatle albums! Oh! Oh! Oh!."
