Excellent post Zim!

Your post explains where the AK 47's came from they were using.

I have always had the thought after actually being in fire fights against the enemy, that if the leadership wanted to and the public was not so against the war, that we could have pushed the gooks out and shoved them back across their border.

I don't believe a war could be successfully won invading North Vietnam and trying to defeat them on their home turf.

Glad we didn't. The body bag totals would have been horrific.

AS you stated, I think you are spot on in your assessment. Thanks Zim!

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.

Zim.
