To be fair, pr had a lot to do about the retreat from Vietnam

2019-12-01 18:58:08 UTC  

Fucking amazing achievement

2019-12-01 18:58:17 UTC  

But you still lost the war

2019-12-01 18:58:18 UTC  

That's the point

2019-12-01 18:58:22 UTC  

Lmao, it’s what happens when u are fighting insurgents

2019-12-01 18:58:25 UTC  

you would win many engagements with china

2019-12-01 18:58:31 UTC  

But you can not invade and control

2019-12-01 18:58:37 UTC  

You would have to retreat again

2019-12-01 18:58:42 UTC  

Only because of politics in context with Vietnam & Korea.

2019-12-01 18:58:43 UTC  

It's too big and populous and advanced

2019-12-01 18:58:44 UTC  

Yeah fuck control, invade and eliminate

2019-12-01 18:58:52 UTC  

We lost because we didn’t want to spark another war with China

2019-12-01 18:58:53 UTC  

If we did that in nam would have been a dub

2019-12-01 18:58:57 UTC  

China would continue the attack.

2019-12-01 18:59:11 UTC  

Which would mean political will is irrelevant

2019-12-01 18:59:15 UTC  

smh

2019-12-01 18:59:15 UTC  

So we were just trying to keep the north from taking the south

2019-12-01 18:59:24 UTC  

And they took the south anyway

2019-12-01 18:59:42 UTC  

any way you look at it, the US lost the war

2019-12-01 18:59:46 UTC  

You can’t win a war with no hope of advancement

2019-12-01 18:59:54 UTC  

No due to military prowess mind you

2019-12-01 18:59:59 UTC  

You still lost the war

2019-12-01 19:00:05 UTC  

Not "any way you look at it"

2019-12-01 19:00:12 UTC  

Yeah ^

2019-12-01 19:00:12 UTC  

You think none of these factors would be relevant in a war against china?

2019-12-01 19:00:18 UTC  

Militarily it was a victory.

2019-12-01 19:00:21 UTC  

No it wasn't

2019-12-01 19:00:23 UTC  

@PureEvilPie well at least we never lost to France 😎

2019-12-01 19:00:25 UTC  

Yes it was

2019-12-01 19:00:28 UTC  

Politically it was a lost

2019-12-01 19:00:29 UTC  

Militarily

2019-12-01 19:00:31 UTC  

You went there

2019-12-01 19:00:33 UTC  

lost your objective

2019-12-01 19:00:38 UTC  

And won every engagement

2019-12-01 19:00:40 UTC  

THATS

2019-12-01 19:00:41 UTC  

NOT

2019-12-01 19:00:42 UTC  

HOW YOU WIN WARS

2019-12-01 19:00:46 UTC  

fucking hell

2019-12-01 19:00:47 UTC  

I’m tired of hearing dudes bitch about a war they probably know little about

2019-12-01 19:00:57 UTC  

Remember the Tet Offensive?

2019-12-01 19:01:02 UTC  

You went there to stop communist backed north from controlling vietnam
