" The United States would face Vietnam-style defeat"Pardon me...but Vietnam wasn't lost MILITARILY. It was a political decision borne of a flawed globalist vision. "Containment." HA!
The Lieutenant's from Vietnam are the GENERALS of today as well as the policy makers. They remember well and the first Gulf War is evidence of that. 100 hours of ground combat to total victory!

For the record, you guys are right, we lost the Vietnam war not in Vietnam, but right here in America. Politicians should never run a war, only declare it.

I'm not a general, but I was one of those lieutenants. I'm tired of being told we lost when in fact we won a decisive military victory, even with one hand behind our backs and tactical decisions being made in the Oval Office and at State. The politicians and diplomats have successfully shifted their defeat onto the military. Many of us will never forget or forgive.
Semper fi!
