B/S. Which battle did we lose in Viet Nam?

How about the battle of Saigon? I'm sure I could find some pictures of us fleeing the capitol.

But seriously, it's because of people like George W. Bush that we lost the Vietnam war. We cannot continue to use WW2 style strategies to win 21st century wars. If he or the others in charge are not capable of adopting our tactics to make a change for the positive, then we need rethink our mission. Sending more troops to walk in circles waiting for the enemy to jump out at them does not appear to be working.

I think we've proved our point, Saddam is dead and his regime is toppled. Now let the Iraqi people decide what they want to do. Democracy cannot be handed out or forced on anyone, it must be earned.

The battle of Saigon wasn't a battle, it was shameful surrender (after the military battle had already been won) brought about by the treasonous media and longhaired pinko commie hippy scum. The same people that are working overtime now to lose the battle of Baghdad. And how many millions were killed as a result of us surrendering to the commies in Viet Nam? And how many millions will die now if we surrender to the Islamic Jihadists?

Oh man are you unarmed for this fight. Battle of Saigon? The great 1975 battle?

No US troops fought in Saigon in 1975.
