The name of the plaintiff answering each question is in brackets at the end of the answer. Please explain why. I do not recall that they involved themselves in our American Civil War. If we do not learn from history, then we are doomed to repeat it. When the enemy is away from home for a long time and produces no victories and families learn of their dead, then the enemy population at home becomes dissatisfied and considers it a Mandate from Heaven that their armies be recalled.
Time is always in our favor.
Our climate, mountains and jungles discourage the enemy. But for us they offer sanctuary and a place from which to attack. That was just one piece of history we did not learn from the Vietnamese people. I attended Perkins Elementary School, Franklin Junior High School, and Theodore Roosevelt High School, all in Des Moines, Iowa, so I had many excellent teachers. At Perkins and Franklin, I was elected President of the Student Council.
