War Problems

US Army post-Vietnam War (The crackhead engineers finally quit their drug addictions)

the US was actually doing really well in Korea and Vietnam both, I dunno what you're on about

Um, the Korean War was never resolved FYI derp, it's actually technically still going on with the DMZ separating the Koreas and we totally lost Vietnam, we abandoned it by 1975 and it went totally Communist....do you know history???

1:8 KDR in Vietnam, we left after a victorious campaign, 3 years later Vietnam fell and turned communist, it only fell AFTER US troops withdrew from the area.

As for Korea, you have a valid point, but if it weren't for the US and the rest of the UN, Korea would be communist as well, so maybe the US is doing a good job and you're only hearing what those commies want you to hear

"we left after a victorious campaign" yeah no, we didn't.....Vietnam was a disaster, that's common knowledge, we ran with our tail between our legs......and no, Im not hearing what the commies would say about Korea, the Korean War has been a stalemate since 1953, you're talking to a bonafide history/geography teacher with many degrees in both subjects thank you........

I don't understand why so many people believe Vietnam was a disaster. I don't really know how to emphasize to you the fact that the USA had a KDR of 10:1 (some say 8:1. Sources vary) and we had won almost every single Urban engagement. We never ran "with our tail between our legs" US forces retreated from Vietnam (I'm paraphrasing here) because staying was useless to the US, as well as tensions back in the mainland pressured Americans to pull out. only AFTER the US was gone, Vietnam had fallen.

As for Korea, If it weren't for China escalating the conflict in the mid 1950s, it would've been a landslide, even after the appearance of the Chinese, they had only managed to liberate the northern half of the Korean peninsula, and the UN forces present in South Korea could successfully hold back the Chinese and North Koreans from taking the rest of the peninsula, this would lead BOTH nations to establish the DMZ as we know it.

Ok, leaving and not winning = failure, what else is it then? I mean, at least Vietnam has straightened out since BUT the war didn't cause that, economics did smh...and the Korean DMZ is a symbol that the Korean War is still ongoing, cause no one wants the north other than China to be a Communist regime rife with atrocities.....leave it at that
