An apt comparison. At Choisin, Korea, UN troops were beaten badly. Feeling overconfident, the Communist Chinese announced their entry into the conflict, sending hardened guerillas. In spite of initial mass casualties, they had strayed beyond their natural territory (the 38th parallel) and ultimately were slaughtered by American marines.
It's also reminiscent of the Confederate Army, who won every battle on their homeland and lost terribly at Gettysburg, in Union territory.
The parallel to be made is that the left in this country gained a large and long foothold during and after Vietnam. Its tentacles are still with us in the persons of John Kerry and his ilk; but at last the patriots are waking up. We will not sit on our hands this time and allow our troops to be spat upon this time. The smackback has only begun, but it will continue until those misguided protesters nostalgic for the 60s retreat.
That's the attitude.
It's been a long hard slog, but I, like you, know we have turned the corner. There's a lot of hard fighting ahead but I feel we're close to vanquishing the left to permanent irrelevancy.
