Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Vietnam

[Clarence Romero Jr. (clyderomerof4]

It’s a long answer 

We were never winning that war

The pentagon papers said so back in 1967 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers

 Sec of Defense McNamara knew it back then

But we stayed for 5 more years and thousands more died and were wounded.

In 1972 we had pulled out the majority of ground troops in Vietnam 

That was the deal we made with the North if they would stop fighting 

The South Vietnamese were the ones supposed to be fighting the war

The North put on a offensive during the Easter months 

They lied 

Called the Easter Offensive https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Offensive

We the United States came back in with air power to repel the north Vietnamese 

They had left the peace table and Nixon was pissed

So in December of 1972 he decide bomb the north to bring them back to the table

This operation was called Linebacker  2  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Linebacker_II

It worked 

The war ended

POW’s came home ! 

     RF4-4EVR

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you have no enemies, you have no character !

Clyde,

How true is this: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChVrZuuBEPy/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I was a young child at the time and my knowledge of that war is spotty, at best.  If this is true, it paints a picture that looks awfully familiar today.  For me, it won't make me actually approve of Nixon.  Opening the door to China is one of the worst acts of any president in history, in my opinion.  But it would reinforce my incredibly negative opinion of nearly every snake in congress.
