Here's how we could have won the Vietnam war
Instead of sending troops to just defend South Vietnam, we should have sent in a whole invasion force to take over North Vietnam. Like what we did in the Korean war. Then as soon as we overthrow the government in North Vietnam, we should have handed control of it over to the South and then immediately left the area. I know many were opposed to the war, but since we entered it, we should have been in it to win and have a winning strategy beforehand.
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

Re: Here's how we could have won the Vietnam war
If we had backed the Vietnam for independence from France like they asked us to the war never would have happened and the results would be the same except they wouldn't have become communist and a lot of them and us wouldn't have died.

On the plus side, the military industrial complex and bankers and C.I.A. made a lot of money.

Re: Here's how we could have won the Vietnam war
Same as I always said about WW2. We should have immediately sent every available plane, tank, bomb, ship, man and everything else we had to completely flatten Berlin in the first few weeks instead of fighting German frontline troops all over Europe & North Africa & everywhere else for years.

Do you know they turned to communist china because

American leaders refused to loan them money and help them

out of poverty??

Do you know the leader of Vietnam begged the US Congress

for help because his entire population was starving to death

 Quoting: Urban Mythbuster


When WW2 started the US didn't even have a army, we were ranked at 17 behind Serbia.

We went to Africa basically as training to figure out how to fight.

WW2 was won because the civilian population was targeted to be destroyed.

After WW2 that didn't happen on such a scale.

That's why wars last for decades now.

They weren't communist until America refused to let them be a independent country after the Japs left. The French thought they could move right back in and take over.

The US refused to help them so they turned to China and Russia.

Re: Here's how we could have won the Vietnam war
I'll throw this out in here.

Did you know that executives from Ford went to Russia to run their vehicle plants?

They kinda had to since Stalin killed anyone that had more than three brain cells.

They also worked there after WW2.

My thought is that Russia and the US agreed to be war rivals after WW2 so in both countries the people wouldn't mind if the money they worked for went to the military industrial complex because of the terrible enemy that they needed to be safe from.

It's all their game.

Suddenly, Top said, "Dey's no reason to lose dat gotdam Viet Nam war".

So I innocently asked, "Well, Top, how could we have won the war?"

He replied, "All you need is ten Cajun with 12 gauge shotguns".

I was incredulous, "Top, you think ten Cajuns could have won the war?"

"Yah", he said, "All you gotta do is tell dem Cajuns tree tings about dem Viet Cong....

Re: Here's how we could have won the Vietnam war
The North Vietnamese went to talks with the US to Surrender. A certain individual named john kerry also went and met the North Vietnamese and convinced them that even though they could not achieve a Military victory that Political Victory could give them a victory. He persuaded them that by funding anti war demonstrations on college campuses and civil unrest and simultaneously increasing body counts they could turn Public Opinion in America and force the US to concede and pull out. He just happened t have an Anti War Group they could fund. It was after this that the NVA launched the TET Offensive bringing MASSIVE casualties as Anti War Protests and Anti War Violence with rabid brainwashed SJWs from college campuses spitting on returning soldiers and screaming BABY KILLER.

If we had done that, the Chinese would’ve sent hundreds of thousands of troops over the border into North Vietnam, just as they did in Korea when they drove us back to the demarcation line.

That’s why we were hesitant and selective about even aerial bombardment of Hanoi. That is until the only way to force the North to the Paris peace table was to bomb the hell out of Hanoi and Haiphong Harbor in December 1972.

Re: Here's how we could have won the Vietnam war
1940s,
when a Texas firm called Brown & Root constructed a massive damn project near Austin. The company's founders, Herman and George Brown, won the contract to build Mansfield Dam thanks to the efforts of Johnson, who was then a Texas congressman.

After Johnson took over the Oval Office, Brown & Root won contracts for
huge construction projects for the federal government. By the mid-1960s,
newspaper columnists and the Republican minority in Congress began to suggest that the company's good luck was tied to its sizable contributions to Johnson's political campaign.

More questions were raised when a consortium of which Brown & Root was a part won a $380 million contract to build airports, bases, hospitals and other facilities for the U.S. Navy in South Vietnam. By 1967, the General Accounting Office had faulted the "Vietnam builders" -- as they were known -- for massive accounting lapses and allowing thefts of materials.

Brown & Root also became a target for anti-war protesters: they called the
firm the embodiment of the "military-industrial complex" and denounced it for building detention cells to hold Viet Cong prisoners in South Vietnam.

Today, Brown & Root is called Kellogg, Brown & Root -- a Halliburton
subsidiary better known as KBR.


The Brown brothers gave a lot of money to Johnson as he sought office
through the years. Also, Lady Bird Johnson owned stock in it.
