"When this army got it's ass kicked and left with it's tail between its legs a few years later, leaving those farmers to live their own lives as they chose to, did our society come crashing down?"

You are seriously undereducated on this. Were you born this stupid, or did you put effort into it?

At the very least, go read about how the war was actually executed, and to what degree politicians influenced military decisions (where to bomb, etc.). Read about the push to let natives do more of the fighting, and read about how shitty the South Vietnamese government was. There were a lot of factors involved, and few of them were failures of the military.

Do you naturally miss the point, or do you have to put effort into it?
Please restate your point with less inflammatory language and more facts.
No, I like it as it is. Why would I neuter my language for your sake?
