We went in trying to prevent a communist takeover of Vietnam and could not accomplish that, and fucked off back home. But we also didn't lose anything we didn't already not have. It was a no-gain scenario. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG <cite>weapon_d00d816 posted [p:889360944] in Do Europea...

It was a loss in the sense that the objective we wanted to achieve wasn't reasonably attainable anymore, due to the Viet cong wearing down public opinion back home, and the heavy losses they inflicted on us. Had it been without public support, we would've won, but they ultimately decide where we go. <cite>Teddytalks posted [p:889360979] in Do Europea...
