The Vietcong destroyed themselves in the Tet Offensive in 1968 and were never militarily significant again. The rest of the war was fought against the North Vietnamese Army. The newsmedia flipflopped weekly on whether those tanks and jet fighters belonged to the Vietcong, or whether they were North Vietnamese but the government in the South wasn’t legitimate and it was really a civil war, guise. People act today like they’re shocked when they catch the newsmedia in blatant, ridiculous lies, but I wanna tell you, brother, it’s been going on for long, long time.
The hippies were never more than a tiny minority that the newsmedia made look more numerous and influential than they actually were. They were the 1960s Boomer equivalent of SJWs, with ABC, NBC, CBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and Hollywood acting as their megaphone instead of Google, Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook.
No, what happened was Ted Kennedy, Walter Mondale, George McGovern, Walter Cronkite, and China Joe, aided and abetted by a State Department chock-full of Soviet agents and a Pentagon full of politicians with eagles and stars on their collars, who told the politicians what they wanted to hear instead of the truth because muh career, muh pension. Add to this Lyndon Johnson’s desire to wage war but lack of resolve to get an actual declaration of war and go in to win like we did in 1941. One of the things this resulted in was all manner of political restrictions on rules of engagement, like “in this province you can’t shoot at the VC or NVA until they shoot at you first,” “no artillery in this sector,” “no air support in this sector unless you get permission from the State Department,” and so on.
Dean Rusk in the State Department was calling up the Soviet embassy with details of every air strike in North Vietnamese territory as it was being planned, “in order to minimize civilian casualties and avoid the risks of escalation,” so the Air Force and Navy bombed the shit out of empty buildings and empty military bases again and again and again for years. It was secret for years, then in the 90s he was doing interviews with the New York Times and CNN to boast and gloat about how he’d “prevented escalation.” During the Second World War Dean Rusk was an Army staff officer in China, by the way, and he oversaw the distribution of US arms and supplies to Ho Chi Minh.
The Communist victory in Southeast Asia was something China Joe and a lot of other traitors worked very hard to achieve, the deaths of millions in Cambodia, the way the USSR sensed weakness and became emboldened and extremely aggressive for five very long years and greatly increased the chances of nuclear war, the fall of Nicaragua and Iran to terrorist armies who sensed our weakness and took advantage, all of it.
In 1974-75 it took the North Vietnamese almost two years to push down and take Saigon, and some ARVN units continued to fight for weeks and months afterwards. Xuan Loc was held by the ARVN 18th Infantry Division and they fought to the last bullet and the last drop of blood, holding out for weeks after Saigon fell, for example.
And then in 1980 we elected Reagan for his tough talk, and hoped that he was going to put boot to ass. Instead we got eight years of broken promises and the comforting illusion that Clown World could be rolled back a little bit if only we all kept coming out and voting. Oh well.
