Strongest military on earth

How could you fuck it up?

Depends how you look at it, the communist viets lost nearly a million lives alone while only 50,000 americans died.

It's because Democrats are pussies, and Asians are basically hive mind organisms who don't care about individual lives.

It wasn't the first time superior commitment won out at great cost over superior material resources, and it won't be the last.

They knew the terrain better and were backed by both Soviets and Chinese.

They didnt lose because of charlie
They lost because of all the hippies at home protesting against it

>thinks having a bigger army guaranties victory
Top zoozle

It was actually bigger and better so....

War is just politics. The Vietnamese made it too expensive for the Americans to think it was worth it. If you are willing to take anything there is nothing that an enemy can do besides genocide and it seems America wasn't quite willing to go that far.

But was the sacrifice worth it?
No?
>defeate

>hearts and minds

btw how could vienamese fought so ferociusly? they had much bigger casualties. it was like 20 vietnamese for 1 american. did they had NKVD style deserter killing?

Yeah it was basically die fighting or get killed by your own soldiers.

>one side is willing to sacrifice an entire generation for victory
>one side isn't

guerilla war

They never should have gone to war in the first place if they weren't man enough to actually invade northern vietnam. poltards will defend this, but the war in Vietnam was actually the most retarded war ever. There was zero chance of victory with the undertaken strategy, and the best scenario would be to let the French take the blame.

>America lost to the Vietnamese
America lost to it's own people.

The north broke the peace treaty. We didn't "lose" until Saigon fell.

>the war in Vietnam was actually the most retarded war ever.
Nah mate.

A captured confederate soldier, when asked why he was fighting against the federal army of the united states, replied "because you are here"
When folks are getting invaded, they fight. Sometimes, to the last.
A semi-socialist Vietnam could have been an american proxy instead of a soviet one, but french butthurt ruined everything.

>I don't know jack shit about the Vietnam War: The Post.
The Viet Minh were willing to die for an independent Vietnam since the 1940s. Why would this change when american troops finally show up, fresh after spanking the French. It also didn't help since both the USSR and PRC was supplying them with top tier gear. Those peasants were also trained soldiers.

You know what, Go read a book nigger.

*revisionism intensifies*

>peasants with AKs took Saigon

When will the memes end?

>You know what, Go read a book nigger.

An advice the whole board should follow.
The whole chan actually.

vietnam has a pretty good military record for a bunch of peasants with AKs t b h

>How could you fuck up?

It's called the rules of engagement and unfortunately Americans were cucked by it.

Hippies are home at the reason 58,135 Americans died and 153,303 were injured on the Vietnam battlefield?

Minuscule causalities for America's manpower reserves. More Americans died in Korea.

But you tell that to the hippies, and they screech HOW DARE YOU OBJECTIFY LIFE LIKE THAT OMG OMG PULL OUT IMMEDIATELLLLLYYY

>More Americans died in Korea

But that's wrong.

And Truman's approval rating in '52 was lower than Johnson or Nixon at any point during their administrations. Korea was hideously unpopular.
