The only reason the US withdrew from Vietnam was because of public pressure back home and the Media. The only reason we had severely restricted targets was because of dummies in govt. and the media. If the US forces had unrestricted target lists, and the full force of the Marices, Navy, Airforce and Army were released in Vietnam, N Vietnam would have been crushed in weeks, but because our "elected" officials didn't want a bad mark on their record, they decided to pull out. I think that's why people hate Bush so much - because he doesn't give a damn about his "record", he gets the job done and stays the course....something our administration didn't do during Vietnam. We weren't really commited to that war as a nation - with the manpower and technology we had, we could have done more. Every single US soldier that died in Vietnam should receive a personal apology from the idiots that supported the enemy - does the name Jane Fonda ring a bell?

| Banned | I do agree with all of that chewie, I am not sure if I am quoting this correctly but someone did say, "war is too serious to be run by the military" Maybe that should be amended to something along the lines of, "war is too serious to be run by civilians" I think I should get a good response for that post  |

Big difference in "blowing up" an MBT as opposed to disabling it.
