Yep. I heard on the Viet Nam war special being aired last night that at our high point in the number of troops, the number was 500,000 troops. Amazing isn't it that we didn't have the military leaders, including the CIC, who couldn't figure a way to actually win that war in the minds of Americans, not politicians.

Johnson's "prevent defense" cost us the ball game imo.

You're exactly right. Several years ago I was part of a conversation with a gentleman who fought in Vietnam. According to him they would fight tooth and nail for days at end to capture a piece of land only to walk away and surrender it back to the cong. Two months later they were fighting for the same land.

It was insane.
