The war was actually won when Nixon gave it to the South. With the American air power as a guarantee the Vietnamized effort was succeeding. The the dem congress destroyed everything we’d sacrificed for by cutting funding to zero overnight.
Agreed, the war was a military success. The dems just pulled the rug out from under the South, and had no choice but to fall.
What parallels this with recent wars are the American sacrifices for what? When the South fell I had the sick feeling in my stomach. I bet when Afghanistan was just given to the Taliban those vets felt the same. Such a waste of good American lives, and materials.
It was not succeeding and never was going to. So much background and facts that were never reported on.
