How come he didn't take any blame for Vietnam?
He didn't invent the policies that got the U.S. into Indochina from 1950s forward.
>>535230933He presided over the whole operation across multiple administrations.
>>535231033>whole operationWhich one?Provide a specific lengthy fully detailed timeline of what you mean/are talking about.In 1965 (when the United States first committed large numbers of Army ground troops) the U.S. had already been conducting operations **throughout** Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, North and South Vietnam for more than a decade.American /its MIC 'involvement' in southeast Asia didn't start with Westmoreland.
>>535230425vietnam was a political failurepoliticians tried to make it a military failure
>>535230425He did, just now as much as the political officials did. He should have been assigned more blame but Americans don’t like to blame our boys in uniform.
>>535230425Is that a pokeball patch?
>>535231724This. Westmoreland could be only as much of a soldier as politicians allowed him to be.
>>535231724It was both a military and a political failure because war is just the means by which you try to attain political goals
>>5352310331964-1968 was one administration.
>>535231724It was in large part subverted by the KGB through the "peace movement". The KGB covertly funded and directed international front groups, like the World Peace Council, to influence Western peace movements and undermine NATO.
>>535230425the "pentegon papers" report, I forget the actual title, was prepared by the RAND corporation at the request of McNamara and it was very thorough an clearly explained why the US could not win the war, but LBJ and McNamara went ahead anyway. Why blame Westmoreland for prosecuting a war he knew the US could not win when he was following presidential orders based on an informed Decision by LBJ. LBJ bragged the Air Force could not bomb an outhouse without is say so. The Air Force would send 120 B-52s at a time to bomb Vietnam and Cambodia. Do you think all those bombs were only carpeted on 'military' targets with all the civilians living in small villages throughout the bombing areas?McNamara also had is own plan called Project 100,000 or McNamara's Morons were McNamara ordered 100,000 actual retards be drafted and passed through bootcamp regardless of their competency and send to the front lines to fight in Vietnam because they had to 'earn their way' for their families to receive government benefits they received because their kids were retarded.
>>535230425He killed enough of them
>>535230425he was doing what he was being told by macnamara . he could choose how to approach that but if macnamara said you need to kill 3000 vietniggers per day he had tyo do it
>>535233791>He killed enough of themand still lost and had to flee the country
>>535230425We dont celebrate losers.
>>535230425He was only following orders.
