Subject: Re: The changing winds of war
Contrary to popular belief, the Viet Cong didn't beat anybody. They were basically wiped out in 1968. North Vietnam's regular army stepped in to keep the war going and after 10 years of futility we finally threw in the towel and the US/Nixon/Kissinger did something very similar to what Israel did to Iran...obliterated N.V.s air defense system and cut off resupplies via force.
They stayed on the battlefield the longest. George Washington mostly lost battles, yet won the war.
