Good Morning Vietnam
Adrian Cronauer has a few choice words about the Dems and pullout talk from Iraq. Go read the whole thing.

Posted by gmroper at July 30, 2007 03:06 PMMr. Cronauer is correct. While we did plenty of stupid things in Vietnam, we were handing them their collective asses. Could we have done it better? I think so. Could it have been done much cheaper in lives and treasure? Again, I think so.
Of course, I may not know much in that I've read military history as a vocation and advocation for a very long time.
Oh, and I was in a Marine infantry company and was commander of a CAP in RVN. If you don't know about CAP, then you don't really know enough about the late RVN.
GM, Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Nary another comment? I wonder why? The word: "Vietnam" is thrown around all the time to justify one positon or another. The reality, I believe, is damn few know much about it.
Am I wrong? When confronted with some actual facts, the subject just gets changed.
