For sure we lost the war, but that is not to say that it was the soldiers fault. As a military we are supreme as far as tactics, skill and weaponry. There is no argument there. Unfortunately it is men who have never seen a battle who make many of the decisions that dictate the military's actions. We should have never stepped foot into Vietnam, as we should not be in Iraq.
I gotta tell you though, when I went to the war museum in Ho Chi Min City I was completely blown away at the atrocities that I saw in the photographs. I was disgusted as a human and most of all as a citizen if the United States. I have never seen so much carnage and wrong doings by US soldiers in my life. I shit you not when I tell you that I cried, and I was not alone.
