Vietnam was the precedent for politicians establishing the "Rules Of Engagement" to make the war more "fair" and to appease the anti-war public.

I'm a Vietnam Vet, saw this SH*t firsthand and it pissed us off..........WTF, OVER, you want us to win this f****** war or not?!?!?

It's still happening in Afghanistan and it pisses our Military off still.

I have high hopes for Sec. Mattis!

“WTF? Over.” Haven’t heard that in a long time.

Army Bro, I am in full accord. The "Rules of Engagement" imposed on us during the Vietnam War were, in my opinion, much less onerous than those imposed on our troops today.

That said, I will not view anything authored by Ken Burns, whose extreme Leftist bias infects everything he produces.

I too am a Vietnam Vet - I saw what actually happened and I've had enough of the lies spread by the Left. We won every battle on the field, and but for the machinations of people like Fonda, Kerry and Cronkite, among others, we would have enjoyed the fruits of our victory.

We were kicking ass and taking names when I was medevacked out in 1969, and I know my Brothers-in-Arms continued to do so until ordered to stand down.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."
