True, there were liberal protesters.

But Vietnam wasn't "winnable". Not with China and Russia in the background. And had it been "won", we'd have had an early Iraq on our hands. A lot of people would have been shot in the back.

To say it was a victory of the left is to retreat into simplistic and inaccurate black and white thinking, a typical blaming smear by the right. By thinking that way the right never has to admit it was wrong. As in Iraq.

It was a loss - to a very lot of people.

And, you may notice, the post was about how the military isn't always correct in their assessment of situations with geopolitical considerations. Not about Vietnam.
