Just a "historical" note from one old enough to have lived it. We won the war in Vietnam. Not only did the N Viets never win a single battle with US troops, President Nixon bombed them and mined their harbors forcing a peace treaty which took the N Viet forces completely out of S Vietnam.

AFTER Nixon resigned, the N Viets violated the treaty and launched a massive tank attack into South Vietnam. The democrats in Congress had passed a bill preventing us from even giving our allies supplies! President Ford went on nationwide TV and asked Congress to supply our allies. They refused.

I think the liberals believe (or at least claim) that the US military actually lost in Vietnam because the war was a "lost cause." It never happened, you can thank the Kerryites for the loss of that peace.

You are right, most people under 40 do not know that Nixon won the peace via a couple of weeks of Linebacker II. I myself was not fully aware of this until I did some research on Kerry's background. Nixon's peace plan is exactly what the VC were trying to prevent though Kerry in 1971.

Nixon won the peace in Vietnam, and we were poised to back up that peace via a huge club based in Thailand & Guam (B-52's).

After Watergate swept the antiWar McGovern/Kerry wing of the (D)s into congress they surrendered it.

I am convinced Kerry would do the same in Iraq.
