Milforum Gnat
Well, the support back home in America was going down and the troops fighting in Vietnam were all very tired after a long war. So I think that is the main reason why the Americas retreated.
Whispering Death said:I don't disagree with you DTop. The American millitary performed excellently in every single major engagement of the war. They won every battle and routed the entire vietcong army to the point where they never could field a single batallion again... even when the N.Vietnamese attacked in 1972 and 1975.
The US Millitary didn't "retreat" like running away from the battleifield but they did give up. Not by their own choice. But the liberal Americans and their politicians ordered the millitary to give up and go home. To use my sports analogy again, the fighting men where in the enemy's red zone and the coach threw in the towel and forfited the game because he didn't want to see them play smashmouth football anymore.
zander_0633 said:Oh yes, I heard that the US army gave the South Vietnamese Army their equipments when they withdraw. is it true?
zander_0633 said:ok, ic. BUt the Americans left the BAttlefront woth a heavy heart right?
Cadet Seaman said:By coach do you mean the General of U.S. Army Military Assistance Command in Veitnam, who was Gen. Abrams who commanded the 37th TB in WWII, served as Corps Chief of Staff in Korea.
zander_0633 said:So who's the mid-Field?
Whispering Death said:No, in my little analogy the American civilian population is the coach.
But we can make Westmoreland the quarterback and Abrams can play left tackle.
