I was in Vietnam; combat up to my ears.

Politicians ripped that victory away from US.

Come what come may, I’m voting for Trump.

Far to young to have been there, but as a combat vet I am voting Trump.

“Politicians ripped that victory away from US...Come what come may, I’m voting for Trump.”

Good point. Since he’s now too old to fight, what counts NOW is whether he will use our troops as cannon fodder or allow them to operate freely, as done in countries that actually want to win.

When Trump tells you that Vietnam Vets are punk ass bitches after the election what are you going to do?

I remember when Ronald Reagan said that our fighting men did not lose the Vietnam War, they were “denied the right to win.”

Ronald Reagan is the only president of my lifetime who I truly miss.

Thank-you for your service.

The best summary is in Jacques Servan-Schreiber's The American Challenge. He lays out in a few paragraphs how, as we were winning on the ground, Ho Chi Minh defeated us in the media and on the college campuses.

I can still hear Tom Moorer growling, everytime you mentioned the media's role in defeating us: "Seems like they turned all our victories into defeats."
