The Vietnam War myth

[JasonC]

2 million dead innocents and tens of millions enslaved for decades, in the midst of a worldwide armed struggle against communist tyrants, was definitely in our national interest. And the entire nation decided so by its political process. The left destroyed the achievement because they hated both its accomplishment and who had done it, gratituously. But cowards will come up with any excuse to avoid confronting evil men, even if it means 35 have to die in their place. All it took between 1972 and 1975 was the balls to continue air support and military supplies.

Check out the logistics details on one of the pages above. ARVN artillery had 180 rounds per gun average in the Easter Offensive, plus US air. In 1975 they had 3 to 10 rounds per gun and no US air. No more American draftees had to die to keep them free; they were entirely willing to shoulder that burden themselves. The left in Congress wasn't even willing to send them artillery shells. It might mean Nixon had been right and they were rogues to destroy him. So they let another million people die and tens of millions pass into slavery.
