The truth is that the South Vietnamese, U. S. and allied troops, actually WON the war! Yes, we lost 58,000+ lives in that war, and the South Vietnamese lost many, too. The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) was heavily involved in South Vietnam from the mid-1960s, and by the time the war was over had lost 1,100,000 troops killed in action! After the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973 the U. S. promised to continue giving South Vietnam almost $200,000,000 annually in aid, while the Soviet Union promised to give an equal amount to the North. The newly elected "Peace" Congress refused to appropriate U. S. aid and South Vietnam received NONE of the support that had been promised. The Soviets gave close to four times as much as they had promised, opposed to nothing from the U. S., and still the invasion of the South by the NVA in 1973 was totally defeated by the South Vietnamese. It took two more years of $1 billion in aid and training for the NVA from the Soviets before the NVA was finally able to invade the South again and defeat the South Vietnamese in 1973. Ironically, and tragically, Dr. Dean and the others who compare Iraq to Vietnam don't know how right they are. We won Vietnam and we'll win in Iraq unless the treasonous media and political hacks that have taken over the Democratic party are able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
