vietnam war

Yet another example of France fucking up and the US riding in to bail their sorry asses out. Unfortunately for them, it didn't work out as well as the World Wars and the US got a bloody nose. Statistically the war went relatively well for America, but gross political mismanagement and the mass media's attempts to force public opinion against the war crippled the military's efforts and America ultimately had to pull out. Basically, the Vietnam War was lost in America, not in Vietnam.
The USA could have easily won the Vietnam War by playing fast and hard, but worthless politicians kept them on such a tight leash they could only hope to tickle North Vietnam and only after being punched in the face. Or we could have returned de Gaulle's favor and told the damn frogs to fuck off in the beginning and spared ourselves the whole experience.

Vietnam War

The only war the United States has ever lost. After WW2 and the rise of the USSR, North Vietnam became a communist region. The US was afraid that if South Vietnam fell to communism, other small countries would also become communist. At first they sent advisors to the South's army but they needed extra support so US troops were sent. It was a war of attrition, victories were won not by total area gained but by body count. It was a very nasty war, with a lot of hatred by the American public. Over 50,000 american soldiers died, as opposed to the 2 million North Vietnamese killed. A lot of American pilots were shot down and captured as POWs and sent to camps, such as the famous "Hanoi Hilton" that became a symbol of the barbaric Vietcong. Contrary to popular belief, the US never lost a battle in Vietnam. Nixon decided to pull out due to the negative opinion of the war and to secure his reelection calling it "Peace with honor". The State Dept lost the war folks, not the military.
My ROTC instructor was a Huey pilot in the Vietnam War.

American View of World War II

Americans are taught from early on in school that World War II was all about Pearl Harbor and that "we" went in to Europe and kicked ass, and then had no choice and blew up two entire cities in Japan. And then everything was perfect for everyone!

The REALITY - The United States sat back while every one of its most important allies suffered brutality. Germany was taking over Europe, bit by bit. The had ALL of Europe basically in their grip (along with Italy and their gang) except for the few neutral countries (who they marched right through anyway) and Great Britain, which eventually had no choice but to just sit and defend itself because it was vulnerable from every direction. While city after city in England and Scotland was demolished, while thousands upon thousands of British citizens were blown to bits, burnt to death, or smothered, Americans said, 'nah, we'll wait thanks. But here's some bombs - you can pay us later." Finally when Roosevelt realized there was no choice but to enter the war (because the world was basically in shock that one of the only surviving superpowers, besides England, was sitting on their hands while the world was being taken over by three men) - he made sure that a big "event" would happen to throw American sentiment across the sea. So we had Pearl Harbor, and then all those fresh, well fed American soldiers took off to join the parched, injured, half-starved Allies.

Now cut to 2001. America gets attacked by an extremist group - not a government - and 3000 people tragically die. Bush decided to blame it on Iraq, as an impetus to bring them down for trying to assinate his fire (and because Iraq sits on a huge buttload of oil.) So when Bush cries out to the rest of the world to try to start World War III, a lot of countries, well, sat on THEIR hands. They remembered the millions of dead family members. They could still see the effects of the horrible bombing blitzes of World War II. They had seen TENS of thousands of civilians die in one night, or over a week, and just have to cope. America has been attacked on its own soil TWICE, and only once by a country. Someday we as Americans will learn the mistake our pseudo-government has made, because we are now the most hated nation on earth, and we have no excuse for it.
The American View of World War II is getting lost in time, because it didn't have much impact on any future generations, as it did in Europe and Asia, and every other country who fought for the length of the war.

The example isn't there - it's the lack of example. The United States does nothing to set an example anywhere, nor does it encourage its own citizens to think on a global level. It's all about US, USA, USA, USA. Scary stuff.
