The Viet Nam war was lost in America and if we allow the Leftist Surrender Monkeys to have their way; the Iraq war & war on terrorism will also be lost in America.

As many others have said, we were winning when I was there.

A good book on Vietnam Veterans and the shabby way we were treated is "Stolen Valor".

I always thought the Communists were behind the Zippo monk movement. The idiot press lapped it up like cream.

Terrific article. It deserves the widest possible dissemenation.

Lybrals (lying liberals) are trying to pull the Hanoi jane/ traitor kerry card to loose another one. Millions were spent by the enemy in the 60's to by this kind of traitor off.

"..the Iraq war & war on terrorism will also be lost in America."

It will be fought in America as well.

Great article.

Halberstam, Sheehan, and Karnow would play crucial roles in events that fomented the coup that removed Diem on Nov. 1, 1963. Their anti-Diem information, much of it from ill-informed or agenda-driven sources, gave Diem's opponents in the US government the reasons they needed to remove what they considered to be an ineffective allied government. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge accepted their reports, spurring him to incite the coup.

They don't mention that their pet president, JFK, gave the OK on the Diem hit. Rumor has it that when Diem was already a prisoner in the back of a paddy wagon ( or some such) he called Lodge, trying to get off the hook. Lodge had already gotten the wink and the nod from Jack and Bobby and his reply to Diem was, "Sorry, Mr President, but I can't help you."

I forgot to thank you for posting this.

A great article and it should be completely read. Thanks for posting it.

The truth is slowly coming out. It is becoming evident the facts are that Halberstam, Sheehan, and Karnow - and the entire American Left - were the real the instigators of A Bright Shining Lie!

Yes. Iraq has many parallels to Vietnam as far as the treasons of the Left is concerned!

The conslusion of the article: Ultimately, it was the contest of wills – not predestination – that determined the outcome of the Vietnam War. A similar contest will determine whether Iraq is one day remembered as another Vietnam.

Sigh.

Vietnam was the right war, fought the wrong way.

And Vietnam was not it vain, it showed the Soviets that they were not going to take over country by country without stiff resistance. Imagine if we just let them have Vietnam without a fight?

The "domino theory" was valid.

Moyar was on C-SPAN's BookTV this weekend and had a number of interesting comments about Diem...considered him a true nationalist (comparing him favorably to al-Maliki in that regard).

[wildbill]

We are already seeing the results of the MSM relying on spurious or agenda-driven 'interpreters' or stringers or sources like the mysterious Capt. Hussein.

THanks for the post. Folks ask why no big anti-war movement today?

One answer may be that the KGB is no longer around to fund such things....

His book is excellent.

His book is excellent. We were winning when I left, too.
