This is nutty, you think that the serving military youth “just up and quit” and made the decision to sign a treaty with north Vietnam and end the war? Do you know that the military is under control of the civilian government? Do you know how the war ended?
You never served but you want to attack nine and a half million veterans and current military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan?
You seem to be the whiniest baby around, and very anti-military unless they are a particular age.
You were the one who called this generation, the ‘stupid’ genereation, and I’m the one who’s ‘anti-military’ except for those of a certain age?
Hey at least we appreciate our soldiers rather then crapping on them.
The only reason Vietnam was lost is because you guys lost heart on the homefront. You can blame the leadership all you want, but the leadership knew they had it won after Tet.
The people (read boomers), who saw the war on their teevees, thought otherwise and demanded the end of the war. And so they got it and by ‘75 abandoned the South Vietnamese to their fate.
For their sacrifice, we have the monument of Ho Chi Minh City. Well done.
