Hmm, those Vietnamese were not so very innocent you know. Hmm, Joe, why
do you always categorize communist insurgents as innocent, and Americans
as monstrous?

Next thing you'll be defending Pol Pot and his genocide. In which you
probably throve.

At the time, US loss in that arena was inevitable due to the troops of
our hands being tied by the policies in place. Goldwater, for what it's
worth, at least had a policy that would have assured a US victory. It
would probably have also earned the US a place in historical infamy.
