How refreshing it is to read your comments that are not the progressive brainwashing of the past decades.
You are so correct in your statement! I’d like to add that the Paris Peace Accord was the result of successful military operations against the North. This accord was supposed to be a peaceful settlement where US troops withdrew. The North then reinvaded and Ted Kennedy led the defunding of the South. The South literally ran out of bullets and gas and was forced to surrender.
The South Vietnamese and the Cambodes were indeed thrown under the bus by our left. They were not military losses, they were political pullouts.
Same with the other wars mentioned in the article. Afghanistan is just as sorry as our Vietnam pullout, where thousands of allied peoples were left behind to be slaughtered.
I’m also inclined to believe the Gulf Of Tonkin stories are also progressive history changes, where it in fact did happen. Our failure to continue the fight of communism is what brought it to our country. The brainwashed have yet to figure this one out.
“War is politics by other means” - Clausewitz.
The only thing that matters about war is who wins, and who loses. Vietnam was a multi-dimensional defeat for the US that left us poorer, weaker, and from which you could argue we have never recovered.
