Coastal Warfare Against the Viet Cong (Article) - 10/2/2015 5:18:08 AM
Unfortunately, the "mission accomplished" at sea, was not accomplished even with extensive bombing of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. It was a lesson in using superior firepower to try to defeat a determined poor nation that the United States should have learned.
Beating up on small countries and trying to make them be like us (internally combative) didn't work then and continues not to work now. I am grateful that our Secretary of State, a Swift Boater, is a strong advocate for peaceful negotiation over going to war.
