they can wage a war even if not supported by the american people

No, trump is 100% supporting netenyahu in his middle east policy

look at the vietnam war

Vietnam is the example that proves me right though

not many supported it

but they pushed the war anyways

the US had the ability to win militarily but the cost back home was too much

nope wasn't that

we were being beat

Nope

we were not prepared for the climate

the m16a1 had issues with the buffers not taking the climate well

the m14's were beat by ak47's

That's just bullcrap buddy, the US was barely using 10% of its power waging war on vietnam.

Yeah Khalid is right

The US did absolutely dominate the battles

They just couldn't continue without support of the people

I mean did you see the casualties? Not even close.

but we still did not support the war

and overall it was bad

> the m16a1 had issues with the buffers not taking the climate well
Wrong maintenance was the problem IIRC

that was after the buffer issue was resolved

We had better equipment, better training(less so for the drafters), better strategies

the first versions of the m16 actually had issues with the buffer tubes once the m14 were nearly phased out they went and fixed that issue

in some respects I think Vietnam was a win: we prevented the USSR influence

It definitely was a military win.

technically yes

and it was a show of power

the US was in a better position overall strategically and logistically speaking, but there was no point for the war to continue, it was obvious viet's didn't want them there and even if they won and managed to occupy vietnam it would cost too much to maintain their presence.

And that too, USSR realised America would go to the wall.

but how I see it i'll vote for anti-war politicians

I do not want more wars

Vote for bernie

no

why not

Bernie is the best candidate

bernie has socialist ideals and im very much against his policies on healthcare and college

Sanders is quite bad.

This is the guy who wants to politicise the fed by adding farmers to the board.

Democratic socialism isn't bad

I disagree
