You need to stop reading into what I’m saying and looking for a fight, just read what I ACTUALLY wrote. I never said we lost it militarily, I said we lost it. Because we DID lose Vietnam, the how only matters in that we should use it to remind us not to get into wars we aren’t actually committed to. But that’s immaterial, we lost the war, the fact that we won every battle doesn’t change the fact that we fled the country with our tail between our legs, we lost Vietnam, that is a simple non-negotiable fact. It’s not whining, it’s not something from my blow hole, it’s the truth. We lost the war. I didn’t blame the military, you assumed I did but that’s YOUR assumption all we all know about ass-u-me, I just said we lost, because we did.

Your post at 53 was: Well in South Vietnam we lost, can’t really blame us for abandoning a lost battlefield.

So, YOU did not blame the military huh? You did not say that huh? Then what the hell do you call abandoning a lost battlefield, then pal? If you did not call the military losers and losing the war, what is a lost battlefield? I'm sure you will come up with a good excuse.
