Yes, the US lost the war in Southeast Asia, but the 'Collectivists' that took over Saigon are the same kind of maniacs that occupy K Street. The Beltway was and still is the heart of the beast. The military tradition is one of courage, dignity and honor. America fought only three wars that can be justified. The American Revolution for our creation, The War of 1812 as we were invaded by the British and The War for Southern Secession which was the beginning of the end for our Republic, with Mr Lincoln's treason.
Men of honor are to be revered, but fools who serve tyrants are to be despised.
Viet Nam produced several officers in the latter category. It was the draftee that understood the absurdity of no win strategy. It was they who knew that their greatest threat was back in the Pentagon, in the halls of Congress and especially in the White House. So let us tell it the way it really was and still is. The war that needed to be fought and still does, is against the real enemy of America.
