I dunno... Its not like the US didn't POUR resources into Nam. In fact, we poured so much $$$ into Nam that it fucked up our Gold Reserves.... so much that Nixon had to take the USA off the Gold standard.

We didn't win because of all the politics involved. Its like we get one effective weapon. Media shows people killed with that weapon on TV. Politicians remove that weapon. We take a hill, take heavy casualties, the next day a Politician calls the general and says its Bad to have that hill. Lots of shit like that is what cost us the war...
