The ongoing battle over the VN war.

[Swampy]

There are two Vietnam wars, and the second is still going 40 years after the first ended. The United States fought the first one from 1959 to 1975 in the jungles, villages and airspace of Indochina. The second is the war over how that war, the first lost war in America’s national history, is remembered. This month, as Ken Burns’ 10-part Vietnam documentary is aired on PBS, the second conflict is sure to heat up again with renewed intensity.

Sounds not just like this forum, but our former one.

Don't forget, we (our military) did NOT lose the Vietnam war. Just compare the damage on each side. It's very clear who won. We won by a landslide!

But winning the war wasn't good enough for the politicians who were more concerned with being re-elected than anything else.

I will now start a new thread in this section about the beginning of the end of the Vietnam war. It happened on today's date in 1969.
