2. how were we "successful" in Vietnam?

due respect to the men and women who served there, but as I recall the stated objective was to prevent the spread of communism and defend the government of south vietnam. well the south vietnam government is no longer there and vietnam remains a communist country to date - so where was there success?

3. depends on the day, if you ask Republicans

we "won" in Vietnam because of the dedication of our troops and the willingness of our glorious Repig leaders not to cave in to anti-American traitors.

However, according to these same repigs, the whole reason we lost in Vietnam is because our cowardly leaders caved in to anti-American traitors and anti-war cowards.
