If they are so powerful why did they get BTFO by rice patty farmers in vietnam and now by towelheads in the desert?

Honestly we thought we were fighting a war in dessert, simple miscommunication.

because obeying international law and winning guerrilla war is mutually exclusive

They also have awful banter
>>
Because they were held back by politics and nobody wanted to be there, are you implying that America couldn't destroy Vietnam if it really wanted to?

And yes, they have awful banter, which is why we're here to fix that.

Didn't they want too before and lost? They could with nukes but their soldiers are total pussies.
>>
>>56035807
Well nuking a country is useless, seeing as you can't occupy the land or use their natural resources, but yes they could destroy them.
>>
>>56035688
That war was designed to keep continued and smuggle drugs, never win against the opponents.
If HQ were really trying to win, it would have finished in few months.

Watch Generation Kill to fully understand the clusterfuck that is the modern American army.
What boggles my mind is our government spend all that fucking tax money on experimental tanks and shit, yet our marines have to buy all their own gear.
>>
America did win, the Paris Peace Accords ended the conflict and stopped the spread of communism.

We knew that dirty commies couldn't be trusted so we agreed to supply South Vietnam with military equipment and support for when the North inevitably attacked again. Unfortunately liberals took control of congress and the North attacked. Liberals gave no support to the South and thus were swiftly defeated.

Saigon fell because America did not keep it's word.

We're much better in naval warfare desu.

Fighting enemies with home-field advantage is difficult for anybody.

Vietnam was a political loss. We won every military engagement there. The problem was that the war wasn't popular at home and LBJ was extraordinarily careful to avoid citizens, overly careful desu. For instance, in bombing Hanoi, he said we couldn't bomb certain areas because of civilian risk. VC figured that out quick and moved their shit into those areas.

Not sure you've seen Apocalypse Now, but the monologue at the end is great. US troops go into a village, give vaccines to people and then when they go back they find the VC have chopped the arms off of those who received vaccines (Taliban do similar things). How can you fight a group that has the will to do anything when you have to adhere to heavy human rights.
