NOW it's Vietnam!

I'm afraid you're right. The moment the White House starts calling the shots in any military engagement, we have lost not only the battle, but the war.

This will only embolden terrorists in other cities to start acting up by terrorizing the locals and picking off our soldier's by two's and three's.

This is an absolutely idiotic mistake that should not have been repeated after seeing how it annihilated the U.S. military under LBJ.

This is pure nonsense.

Understand- under LBJ the White House regularly micro-managed the details of military operations, ruled various targets off-limits for no good reason, and dictated a strategy which maximized the number of forces in-country while minimizing their potential uses.

Calm down, everyone. Get it: calm down. That's the big problem with the internet, it leads people to prematurely catastrophic thinking.
