Sounds eerily like Iraq doesn't it?

Even the Tet Offensive was a military failure for the North Vietnamese and Vietcong. But the damned press spun it into a loss for us.

That is a very interesting website. It must be all wrong though, because I am in agreement with everything I have seen on it so far!

John Kennedy started it
LBJ made it FUBAR
Nixon had it won
Walter Cronkite made sure we lost it.
That's the Cliff Notes version

We signed an agreement to support South Vietnam's miltary after we pulled out. The Democrat congress crawfished, and that led to millions of lives being lost. But the fake war hero, Horseface gigelo Jonh Kerry (who served less time in Vietnam than I did at Parris Island) called it "Richard Nixon's war". I detest Democrats more than I do civilians

Yes, the military won, politicians and the press turned it to a loss.

Biggest win was every time a soldier stepped off an airplane in the US, alive.

Today's troopers get welcomed a bit more pleasantly, that's for sure. Glad they do but many Vietnam vets can still taste the gall.
