    As someone who lives in Vietnam, you should also be aware that the French did not completely leave Vietnam when the Japanese came in. The French worked WITH the Japanese to manage and control the people. Yes thats right, while the Allies were fighting to FREE France in Europe, the French were colluding with the Japanese across SE Asia.

    The Vietnamese may fall, but they will not lose their country. They were up against a force from half a world away. Americans, who always preach for justice, who possess advanced weapons, have not been able to defeat the will and patriotism of the backward farmers. And time has proved, it has been more than 50 years since the US military had to flee from Vietnam, the country of Vietnam has developed continuously, there has been no conflict between the two South and North. That's why they say the Vietnamese won. They used blood and tears in exchange for freedom.

They also thought the french lost because they were a weak army. - The Jungle terrain was brutal. It stoped the US from deploying their full power. The jungle was a major reason why asymetric warfare was so succesful. - They underestimated the will to fight of the vietnamese people. The NVA and VietCong were ready to endure everything to liberate their home. The side that is ready to sacrifice the most will usually win.

    I do think it’s important to highlight that the US military was effective in Vietnam. However, the Vietnamese tactics were truly brilliant, and exploited the fact that the Americans really didn’t want a war with China because it could quickly go nuclear. In a nutshell, the US military was under direct order from the president not to invade North Vietnam. They essentially had to sit there and defend the south. The Vietnamese knew they couldn’t win in a head to head fight, so their tactics revolves around psychologically destroying the morale of both US troops and citizens alike. No matter how powerful a nations military is, they will never win a war without public support, and the Vietnamese were able to take that away from the US. Also, the trees speak Vietnamese meme is fucking hilarious

    The US leadership, political and military, was traumatized by how quickly the Korean War spun out of control into a big costly mess. That is where "Never get involved in a land war in Asia" comes from. When MacArthur plunged northwards, that triggered a massive Chinese intervention, that rolled back most of Mac's brilliant gains almost instantly. It was feared that such could happen if the US launched a massive invasion into northern Vietnam. It was feared that massive airstrikes that kill civilians (or nuclear strikes) could result in nuclear reprisals that would destroy ports for the US Navy on a wider scale. In hindsight, a massive intervention by China (or Russia) was probably not in the cards. But the whole point of the war from the US perspective was that international communism was working together knocking over the dominoes. The justification for fighting in Vietnam at all presumed the plausibility of China/Russia being willing to get directly involved -- we were there to defend SV from China/Russia, not just the peasants in the north.

    My Lai massacre was a very sad thing, one can only feel sorry for the victims. But it should not be forgotten, that the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese People`s Army carried out more serious massacres. As in Hué, where they caused a massacre together, the estimated number of victims being up to 6,000, ten times as many as in the My Lai massacre. Ho Chi Minh killed a million people through mass executions and in re-education camps, there is no difference between him and Kim Il-sung.

And most of the bodies with gunshot wounds could only be killed by shots from close range. Women and children were murdered, were they collaborators? Four German citizens were also found among the victims: the three medical professors Horst-Günther Krainick, Alois Alteköster and Raimund Discher, who at the University of Huế, as participants in an educational aid program of the German federal government, set up the university's medical faculty since 1961, and Krainick's wife Elisabeth. The Viet Cong knew that they were not American, but they murdered them anyway.

    Nah, we saw it coming. We just didn't want to be there anymore. We also left behind lots of weapons and Munitions behind hoping it would give then a fighting chance. But they just didn't care to fight so the Taliban got everything. Now they're having a bit of trouble with domestic terrorism themselves, from factions which think the Taliban, didn't go far enough.

    Some of your faults were also the UH-1 Huey, when you arrived the enemy knew you were coming because of the sound alone, since your enemy could pick their fights in their large tunnel networks, they avoided battles they knew they would most likely lose which i firmly believe was one of the main reasons the war went the way it did. Cause could have been another, other than the fear of a unified vietnam did you really have a great cause ? the enemy was fighting for their homeland, for them it was all or nothing and as far as i can tell they fought like it too.

    Honestly, they didn't really want to win that war. It was an excuse to get lots of military funding for the kind of force we have today. The Abrams tank, Bunker busters, laser guided weapons, the M16, camouflage, night vision, thermal vision, stealth technology, etc. All were designed and built during the Vietnam war. Then in 1991 they had a defiant and rebellious Saddam Hussein in Iraq who invaded Kuwait and wanted to have his foot on the neck of the world by controlling the middle east oil. They took that war very seriously and destroyed his military in 100 hours. Make no mistake about it, if Vietnam was a must win war, the US would win that war and do it in a week or less.

    The US lost the war because its universities and media institutions had been subverted by Communists, thereby succumbing to propaganda and giving up. Watch Yuri Bezmenov The Vietnam War ended with South Vietnam secure, the only problem was weak politicians were afraid to actually support them because successful subversion had swayed public opinion.

    Yah, you got the big basics here. What you said is all true. But there's much much much more to it than that. The U.S. Cut a deal with China. That's why we left. But as far as the battles. The U.S. was definitely winning all of those. Like, all of them! I joined the USMC in 1998 and finally got to the flee in 1999. As a Machine Gunner I had to go qualify with the M9mm Beretta because I was going to be carrying an M240G M.G. and needed a side arm as a back up weapon. All 0331s have a side arm. Anyway, I was having trouble qualifying with the pistol. So a Master Gunnery Sergeant who was firing next to me started giving me some pointers. I can't hit a fuckin thing with a pistol. But he helped me to qualify and then I sat and ate an MRE with him afterwards. He was in Vietnam in 1968. He arrived just in time of the Tet offensive. Found himself at Hue City as PVT trying to learn how to be a rifleman still. He wasn't even acclimated to his surroundings yet but Tet was big. every swinging dick was out in combat even the cooks. Now days cooks in combat is pretty common to see, but back in the 60s that was rare. Like, unheard of. Anyway. He talked, I listened. He told me about Vietnam. The battles were so unequivocal as far as who fared better. He said the The NVA and the VC would be almost completely annihilated after going up against any American force out there. The did try and avoid Marines. He said that was true because the Marines were known to ignore withdraw orders and finish the fight. The Army and Marines were constantly ordered to withdraw while they were winning the battles. He said it felt pretty clear that someone in charge did not want this war to end too soon. The Marines continued to ignore withdraw orders and by 1971 the Marines had pretty much been all ordered home. Small detachments left and Marines left guarding the embassy. But they weren't at division strength anymore. The Army was left to fight alone for 2 more years and would get contact and ordered to withdraw. He was 100% serious when he said we could have definitely had battle lines. We could have definitely occupied areas and moved in closing on Hanoi. But there were so many rules that made this area out of bounds or that area off limits and the enemy figured that out, of course. and that's where they would stage for their next attack. He said it was insanity. We had U2 spy planes and satellites that were far more capable of surveillance over the North Vietnamese that made locating the bulk of the forces very very simple. Much easier than what we had to do in WWII and Korea to locate enemy forces. They had the intel, but would order those areas off limits to bombing raids or ground attack. He said the true reason we lost Vietnam will probably never be revealed. But it was not because we were incapable. We never lost a battle to the NVA or VC. We never lost a Fir Base, we never lost one square foot of ground. We "gave" it back to them only to fight for it another day. It was not a war that the United States government intended on winning. that's why we lost.
