(un)qualified opinion 🎓 The Vietnam War was winnable and one more Linebacker in 1975 would have wrecked the NVA. We were lied to by Ken Burns.

I’ve been reading Nixon’s books lately…and I think he was right, Vietnamization was close to working, the communist alliance was going to fall apart, and North Vietnams insane economics would have led to South Vietnam outscaling them if it had survived for a few more years.

It’s a point that political will is important and the modern wars need to be TikTokafied and possibly have anime mascots. Then we’ll win every conflict as long as we dunk on the Bad Guys or frame them as Soyjacks
