Why aren't you Americans more embarrassed to post stuff like this?

Chest thumping about a war you lost 50 years ago...

> If USA ever made a "maximum military effort" then the war would have been over in 3 months. That was the whole problem. They never did.

It doesn't matter what your imagination wants to have happened. It didn't. Why are you trying to put up your revisionist fantasy against a historical fact? We lost. Zinn's description is perfectly accurate.

Must be nice to smoke what you are smoking. The "west" lost entirely in Vietnam. Just look at Afghanistan today... 20 years of war and they have been beaten again.
