“ We were succeeding. When you looked at specifics, this became a war of attrition. We were winning. ”
President Johnson did not want the Vietnam War to broaden. He wanted the North Vietnamese to leave their brothers in the South alone.
~ William Westmoreland
It's the first war we've ever fought on the television screen and the first war that our country ever fought where the media had full reign.
I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.
War is fear cloaked in courage.
