CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Retired Gen. William Westmoreland, who commanded American troops in Vietnam — the nation’s longest, most divisive conflict and the only war America lost — died Monday night. He was 91.
Westmoreland died of natural causes at Bishop Gadsden retirement home, where he had lived with his wife for several years, said his son, James Ripley Westmoreland.
The silver-haired, jut-jawed officer, who rose through the ranks quickly in Europe during World War II and later became superintendent of West Point, contended the United States did not lose the conflict in Southeast Asia.

Well, the media might take a few seconds away from their Joe Wilson multiple orgasms to gloat over this.
RIP, General Westmoreland. When you can rank perverted scum like the media among your enemies, you've done well.

He did his best, despite restrictions placed on him and his troops by the politicians. This old soldier mourns the loss of a great officer.

(Salute) RIP General. You did your best. The government and the Liberal "media" betrayed you and the troops. GBU.

We did not lose the war. There was a negotiated peace that was signed in Paris. Don't these goofs ever stop?

Rip General....you were a patriot.

We did not lose the "Vietnam War". We lost the Battle of Vietnam which was a battle of the Cold War which we ultimately won
RIP in peace General, you did your best despite bumbling leadership in Washington and a treasonous media.
