[quote="Sgt Stryker":75a8e]Bunny, about teh Vietnam thing, we never actually lost a single battle in the war.
I would say that we "lost the peace", that is we managed to piss off more people than we killed enemies. Mostly piss-poor handling from the top levels of government down to top level military command.

Our guys fought like hell and killed more NVA and VC than they killed of our guys; we just ended up making more enemies in the process due to bad judgement from the folks as the top; which is typical of all wars, just not all bad decisions lead to ultimate defeat, or the other guy makes more mistakes (like Hitler)[/quote:75a8e]

Thats right, we kicked the shit out of the NVA, VietCong and Vietminh during Tet and whenever they openly engaged our troops in combat. Also, our LRRPs, SOGs and tribal allies won nearly every engagement they were in. We were very successful but the fact that the military dicked around for a decade led to all the protests and our withdrawl from Vietnam.
