The ChickenHawks are the ones who are so willing to send other folks kids to war, when they didn't go and their kids have no direct knowledge of military sacrifice. I support a strong military, but not a misused one.
Think back to when DC finally started listening to demands to end the war. It was when the Lottery System was made part of the draft, and their relatives and loved ones were going to have to do the fighting.
No, it was when the democRats started playing funding games and preventing Nixon from taking it to the North like Trump would.
Nixon would make progress, and Congress would demand a cease fire. The North would promptly resupply, and off they’d go again.
Nixon came very close to getting the North to scream uncle. The Left couldn’t have that, because it would have shown up their inability to conduct a war.
Johnson was a literal nightmare of a president, when it came to Vietnam.
If the U. S. hadn’t opposed the takeover of Vietnam, the whole region could have gone.
While I don’t like the way the war was conducted, we could have won that war. All we had to do was open up on Hanoi and level it.
Nixon was making headway, but we had our Commies entrenched in those days too.
