Why don't you just admit it. You weren't there. You didn't see what was going on. You really have no idea.

The biggest problem to our "not winning" the VN war was the fact that we did not retain control over that which we acquired through fire. We would go in, take an objective and, then, leave the next day. We did that, day after day after day.

Could the US have won the war? South Vietnam is smaller than the state of California. Even back then, large areas were NOT controlled by the VC or NVA. If the politicals had left the military alone and allowed us to do what we had been trained to do, YES, we would have won it....way before the early '70s.

How do I know? From 65 to 66, I was an infantry radio operator with B Co., 1st Bn., 7th US Cavalry, 1st Air Cavalry Division, in the Central Highlands. If you saw "We Were Soldiers," then you know of my company.

However, bottom line....if you weren't there, you have no clue as to what you speak of. Plain and simple. You're just a bunch of Monday Morning Quarterbacks.
