To: null and void

Precisely. We won every major battle, from the Ia Drang, to A Shau valley, Kontum to Tet.

My father and his counterpart commanded ARVN troops, and as late as `72 they were bravely killing NVA tanks with LAWs in the central highlands.

Democrats started the war, then didn’t have the stomach for it—and lost it.

The old man—Airborne and Ranger, CIB, EIB, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star and Air Medals—died from Agent Orange complications about a year ago.

On his behalf, let me say that anyone who says that American troopers lost or surrendered in Vietnam can kiss my ass.
