JD, so I take it that you never read anything written by the North Vietnam Generals. As for the "they lost confidence in the US" after "the last year .... the US was tucking its tail and running home". First we, as you put it "tucked tail and ran home" starting in 1969. After Operation Lam Son we all knew, even the greatest believers in the cause, that Vietnamization failed. By 1972 we were down to 69,000 troops in country. All the Marine combat units left the year before. 15 May the US Army HQ was decomissioned. Units of the 1st Air Cav were in mutiney, they refused a patrol having "expressed a desire not to go". Other units followed. I got home in August. I don't think the war was winnable with the military, we didn't understand it was a war of nationalism. But we fought well. I know that by the time Jane visited there was no win to be had. During the war 2 million served in country, 580,000 at the hight, and in 1972, none were comming back to help. The US public was done with it, to many lies, congress was giving no more money, the president was caught up in his scandle. Many of us saw no reason to pour fresh blood on dried. 15 years, billions of $, 47,244 KIA, hundreds of lost planes, thousands of helecoptors. I think it is sad that Jane still has the power to upset vets. I know she will not live rent free in my head.
