I was there in 68-69. Our leaders would not allow us to win!

  I was there in 68-69 with the 9th infantry Div. (Army)
A page of my web site is dedicated to this experience.
  From my own time there, I have come to the conclusion
that our leaders certainly were'nt a Powell or Schwartzkopf!
Also, Bell Helicopter Corp. was going bankrupt and needed
bailing out. LBJ was principle stockholder in the
Flying Tiger Airlines who had a contract with the military
to transport troops to Vietnam and bring bodies home!
In other words, Corrupt was the norm.
