We were never "winnig the war" in Vietnam. We won every battle we fought but had zero chance at winning the war. The people in the south did not support us it was that simple.
<I didn't go back to the begining of this thread but the war against Islamic fundamentalists in Iraq and Viet Nam are not even remotely the same.>
I sure agree with you on that one - the North Vietnamese at least had some air defense. The Lebanese government could sure use a shipment of Patriot missles.
