I don't understand your answer but if you mean we lost, you are wrong. We lost it politically but not militarily. The Americans were kicking butts where ever they were. It was after they retreated back into neighboring sanctuaries they were able to save their asses. And because of freakin politics, it happened. But what's so funny in retrospect, American businesses are there investing heavily.

History is likely to repeat itself if we Americans elect the wrong person as our next President.

Where the hell did you ever get this idea? I was curious and I looked at your profile, CAP! It figures! You are just a child! I can't blame you for what you have been taught in revisionist history written by less than credible people, but for the record, we never lost a battle; we killed 1.5 Million Enemy Soldiers (Not our count, this is what the Hanoi Government has posted as their loses in the war against mostly American Troops); We lost 47,737 American troops in Combat, and another 11,000 to accidents. The only reason we left the country was because Congress was threatening to cut off the flow of money to the Armed Forces, and we were ordered out. We, and the South Vietnamese, were sold out by the Democrat Party in the US Congress to our enemies!

You go ahead and educate the young man, Joe.
The **** that they pick up in school now-a-days is all crap.
But for him being in the Civil Air Patrol (CAP)I have to give him a hand for that.
Shows he did not just sit on his butt. He got out and contributed at least something.
I spent time in CAP myself, and it was a good experance for me prior to me graduating high school and going in the USAF.
