#2 I thought the South Vietnamese were doing a great deal, near the end, up until the point where they ran out of ammo and we (at the behest of the current Democratic Presidential Nominee and his allies) cut off their supplies.

#3 Phil: I thought the South Vietnamese were doing a great deal, near the end, up until the point where they ran out of ammo and we (at the behest of the current Democratic Presidential Nominee and his allies) cut off their supplies.

Actually, the South Vietnamese were doing a great deal even before the end. Their total losses were over 200,000 KIA. At the end, they were totally outgunned by huge amounts of weaponry shipped by the Chinese and the Soviets for the 1975 Mig, tank and artillery assault from the North.

#5 "Iâve been called a traitor and a turncoat for mentioning these things," said Zinni, 60.

#6 "Itâs not the quagmire part that resembles Vietnam, but the fact that, for strategic reasons, we are more committed to the security of a country than its own citizens."
Actually, I think just the opposite is true.
If anything, we've been so anxious to win Iraqi hearts and minds, that we went a little lax on the country's security.
