Over the next three-plus weeks, the 173rd would fight up and down the hill, with heavy fighting following on November 13, with B Company sustaining especially heavy casualties.

I respect the men who have their lives to fight communism but do not respect the politicians and industrial forces that dragged this war out for a decade when the mightiest country in the history of the world could have ended this in a week. Or better yet not jumped in at all and used other methods to control and inhibit the north.

Now they fill Home Depot, Target, Walmart with crappy, cheap furniture and goods while North Carolina industries are memories.

Sir, IMHO, you can lay the blame directly at the feet of Lyndon Baines Johnson, with many conspirators and accomplices, many of whom wore stars on their shoulders. LBJ is an American disgrace and especially so, him being a Texan.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident / resolution was a bigger lie than ‘weapons of mass destruction’.
