absolute horse sh*t

The only reason America didnt completely roll the VC and the NVA was "rules of engagement" There was plenty of troops and supplies to do the job but the chronics at home and in the joint chiefs didnt want to engage thoroughly.
Guerrella war can be sucessfully fought. In Rhodesia without the boycott of the world it would still be there. Tibet is still run by china. The Ukraine after WW2 was pacified by the Russians by 1955. It takes all out effort and no morals but it can be done.

boxley brings us truth in labeling!

"absolute horsehit" describes the premise of the referenced post, that the US could have prevailed in Vietnam, eloquently and economically. An American "victory" in 2003 would resemble (A) the surface of the moon, or (B) Vietnam 1969, with urban centers and "strategic hamlets" under nominal government control by day, and the nights and the countryside in firm possession of the resistance; hundreds of thousands of US troops in occupation and the bars & bordellos of Saigon roaring along. The Vietnamese (still provisioned by China and, in all likelihood, a still-intact USSR) were never going to give up and go home for the simple reason that they were home already.

cordially,
