	>We \*W O N*/ the Military war.
Your way, yes. Which seems to have nothing to do with reality.

	>Viet-Cong did not exsist....
The Viet-Cong never existed. That was an American invention. Perhaps
you mean the Viet Minh? THAT were the Vietnamese that once fought the
French oppressors and after that the US.

	>Anywhere our troops wanted to go, they went....

	>What we lost was the political war, a failure of courage on
	>the part of our leaders.

	>Contrary to popular belief Saigon did not fall to an army of
	>barefoot, black suited gurellias, but to a MODERN mechanized army
