christ, sounds like mcnamara. the americans killed north vietnamese faster than they killed americans, so how come they lost?

Because the North Vietnamese were not bombing and destroying American home soil schools, apartment blocks, utilities, etc. on a daily basis.

Lacking any real home soil peer citizen engagement the US saw the Vietnam War as a costly pointless loss of money, resources, and life on the far side of the planet.

The Ukrainians are somewhat more engaged.
