Oh...geez...that makes more sense. In other news, did you hear about the Hindenburg?

Welpe - To help get you up-to-speed:
We won WWI, WWII and the first Gulf War.
Korea was a draw.
We lost Vietnam.
Gulf War II is still a toss-up.

I suspect there are a number of people who may dispute this.

But that's for another forum.

I suspect most people aware of it would whole-hearted agree with the assessment. For that many, quite a few would insist that the military wasn't allowed to win it.

That was the beginning of the, "we cannot offend anyone, must apologize for anything anyone may take offense to and, no matter what, everyone has more rights than those who lived and died for them" era in this country. Still stuck there.

But you are right, that is for another forum.

Militarily, we WON Vietnam.
POLITICALLY, we lost it (thank you Lyndon Baines Johnson).

There we go.

Let's get off that topic.
