Posted by SLRT on Tue May 24 09:24:38 2016, in response to Obama's Asia trip...and who REALLY won the Vietnam War, posted by JayZeeBMT on Mon May 23 22:09:41 2016. The U.S. lost the war in many ways, if not militarily.Viet Nam won the war in the showy ways: victory parades, territory, bragging rights, Saigon becomes HCM (though many Vietnamese still say Saigon, just as many Russians continued to say "Peter" or Petersburg during the years it was Leningrad). But VN failed to heed the advice in "The Mouse That Roared." Lose the war, get American goodies, Win...? Viet Nam suffered from poverty and more for decades after they won the war. |
