"There is no substitute for victory."
I have often speculated on what the world would look like today had America reunified Korea and Vietnam rather than turning tail and running. And booted Castro out when that opportunity arose.
Would the other "little" embarrassing engagements (defeats) America has endured since WW II have ever happened had we but paid attention to General MacArthur's wise counsel and resolved to never desert the field of battle until total victory was achieved?
Paraphrasing the Union 76 ad: "You can either pay me now or pay me later. But it will cost a hellofalot more if you wait 'til later."
