I have never talked to a single vet that thought the war was unwinnable. And then you see the domino effect after we pulled out of the area. Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia was, IMO, a direct result of our withdrawal. |
Yep! Had the government allowed them to fight the war to win, let the Generals run the war....I think it would have been won.
I see that happening today. Although, we've come a long way and are treating our returning military with respect they deserve.
