I'm only too happy to disagree with you on one point. The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong never defeated the U.S. military. We never lost a significant military engagement. I'm not sure where this idea originated and you are not the only person who I've heard say this. Those of us who served there were just as dedicated and couragous as todays soldiers. Our government failed us in this war, not the military

"Our government failed us in this war, not the military."Agreed with but one small change since we are austensibly a "government of, for, and by the people".
"The American people failed the military in this war, not the other way around."
