The war wasn't meant to be won in the traditional sense. Thu U.S. viewed a win in Viet Nam as a stalemate, thus coercing Uncle Ho into giving up eventually. The amount of troops shipped to Nam were only that number calculated by the cabinet to be required to acheive a stalemate. The advantages of trying to stalemate the NVA was less troops required to accomplish the same goal--halting Communism. |
