Micro > He and I both were in southeast Asia in NAm. We fought against commie aggression and we had leadership at the highest level that really just did not want to win the war.
Here's something I've thought about Boss . . .
In Vietnam, the Russians were supporting N. Vietnam . . . and 'suggesting' to the Americans that invading N. Vietnam (to win the war) might cause Russia and the United States to go nuclear . . .
The Russians had their little adventure in Afghanistan . . and we Americans were funding the Afghan 'Mujaheedin' and they were operating out of Pakistan. Pakistan being an 'American Ally' the Russians 'were not allowed' to invade Pakistan to deal with their problems in Afghanistan.
Proxy Wars can get ugly like that.
