About what, my good man?



I specifically referred to Obama's approach, not Bush's. If you have a more cost-effective plan than feel free to present it.



How do I ignore them? The U.S. intervention in Indochina only delayed the Communist takeover. The vast majority of U.S. and RVN kills were combatants; the same cannot be said for Ho and his fellow travelers. Perhaps there is an inverse relationship between attrition and duration of conflict?
Ayor.....I often point this out as the major "win" for the NVA in SVN....and yes the US was out of the fighting by 1971....

The following is of interest.....

Number of VC and NVA killed during the entire period 3.2M
Number of VC and NVA MIA for the entire period 1.2M

Figures come straight from Giap in a book he released after the war....

I personally read an intercepted handwritten COSVN Commanders letter to Giap....in a three month period in 1970 they had suffered alone 10,000 killed and missing.....BTW we captured that courier based on HUMINT...

Now if we look at say the US MIA and KIA ....is what roughly 60K????

So who in fact "won".....in the end?????
