Speaking as one who served in RVN and who grew up in the era of the Viet Nam War I clearly remember JFK/LBJ and the cadre of the "Nations Best and Brightest" who ran Camelot and the VN War.

Because they thought of themselves as the "Best and Brightest" in the country, they could not think of themselves as being wrong in anything they did.

McNamara and the DC Politico's micromanaged the VN war and could not conceive that it was possible that the military knew how to win the war.

We lost in Viet Nam because of McNamara and LBJ, aided and abetted by the likes of John Kerry and Jane Fonda and their hangers on.

To say I am still pi**ed after all these years about how the veterans and the whole country were treated and sold down the river by these communist sympathizers would be an understatement.

Bottom line: They didn't know what they were doing, and an estimated 58,168 Americans and more than a million Vietnamese paid for it with their lives.

Sadly, that wasn't even close to the bottom line. After 1975 when the evil Yankees were gone and the Commies had its way, another 2.5 - 3 million innocents from S.E. Asia died at the hands of Fonda's "Agrarian Reformers" while another million or more were scattered through the world or at the bottom of the South China Sea escaping form the great socialist experiment.

Mr. Rieland --- you have much more blood on your hands than LBJ or Nixon. Maybe Vietnam was "none of America's business", but I despise these sanctimonious yuppie idiots who now claim they were only interested in saving lives. That is pure BS. They were interested in a Commie victory.

Fonda told Duke University students in 1970, "If you understood what Communism was, you would hope and pray on your knees that we would someday become Communist."

The irony of communists praying aside, this was a year BEFORE Kerry's "Winter Soldier" Treason. You're known by the company you keep.

Kerry is also an admitted war criminal.

The leftists have belatedly noticed the gaping vulnerability created by their boy's 1971 accusation that the American military was a mass murder machine, and they are now lying and spinning in a most gratifying manner.

We'll see how that works out.

"Though Fonda, Hayden and Kerry were once seen as radicals, eventually even former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara came to believe that the war, which polarized America like nothing since the Civil War, was wrong."

I find this extremely offensive. Just because McNamara may have changed his opinion about the war, doesn't exhonerate what these radicals did...nor should there be such an implication. There is a big difference between honest dissent in the protestation of a war, and marching with those who wanted to see the US defeated. This revisionism is almost as dispicable as their cowardly acts.

"We of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations... were wrong, terribly wrong. We owe it to future generations to explain why." -Robert S. McNamara

Sure, Bob. I'd be happy to explain it, and many of us present at the time saw it clearly...

You were pansy-assed Liberals who refused to fight the War to "win". Instead, you got us deep into it and then when hard decisions on "victory" had to be made, you decided to fight the War to an "amicable negotiation". It was the other side which fought to "win".

You and your ilk sold us out, Bob. I include the other "Bob" (Kerry) in with your feckless "ilk" as your policies were the same puff-up and then cut-and-run sort.

There. Do you feel better, Bob? I sure hope I haven't hurt your feelings!
