Topps911,
I think you're a little misinformed. There were many US military victories in Vietnam and the one that counted the most we lost. We lost the attrition battle. Where you expecting this soverign republic to say something different?
You can blame the hippies, draft evaders, the free press, but the fact of the matter remains, the war wasn't about the spread of communism like the politicians led us to believe. It was about big American corporations, money, winning elections, and lying to the American people. It had nothing to do with supporting the troops.
Move forward thirty-five years and nothing has changed except the leaders of our country are draft evaders or used political influence to avoid combat in Vietnam. Is this what you mean by support for our troops?
