Ooo! Ooo! I know the answer to that one: Because Walter Cronkeit lied every night to SeeBS’s huge, gullible audience, telling them that the US was losing the war, thus eroding support of our military during wartime.

Giap couldn’t believe his good fortune in having dolts such as LBJ and McNamara in charge of the war, and the Left in charge of the rabble on both our coasts.

Why in the world would any sane voter put a Democrat in office as CIC after the disastrous experiences we have had?

The main problem was simply fighting it not to win. I think McArthur said something about that in the Korean War.

We fought the entire war on their rules. we could have won it easily and quickly but we simply refused to do what was necessary.

Sort of like trying to win a prize fight with one arm tied behind your back.
