    They don't want to die for Moon and Putin in a pointless and illegal war.

    The US wasn't getting its ass handed to them in Vietnam like the Russians are in Ukraine.

    We saw too many posts from MAGA morons last February prematurely celebrating that Russia would easily roll over Ukraine.

    I tried to warn them that Ukraine had a large, modern, well equiped army which could inflict substantial pain. Ukraine's military probably ranks in or near the world's top 20.

    The Viet Cong were an insurgent militia, and the North Vietnamese army was no match for the US Army on a toe to toe basis

    The fact Americans were rooting for Putin and Russia must have caused Ronald Reagan to roll over in his grave. Fucking traitors.

    Our military wasn't defeated; it was the politicians who fucked it up by hamstringing the military and continuing to order them into position which couldn't be won.

    Is there really any doubt that the Russian Army is poorly led, poorly trained and given poor equipment because Putin's Oligarchs are robbing the country blind?

    Is there any doubt that the Russian Army is getting its ass kicked daily?

    The US was in Vietnam for about a decade and lost over 56K men. The Russians have been in Ukraine for less than a year and have already lost over 20K men. Why else is Putin threatening nukes if he wasn't desperate about getting his ass kicked?

    We made the mistake of thinking the Viet Cong were communists when most of them didn't know what the word meant. The Viet Cong were Vietnamese. They wanted us the fuck out of their country, like they wanted the French out before us.

    And women and children. They anticipate that NATO is going to initiate WW3. I hope they're wrong.

    The difference is mainly the difference between guerilla war and conventional war coupled it seems with the poor motivation and training of Russian soldiers.

    Why was Vietnam a guerilla war? For the same reason the Arabs switched from conventional war to terrorism: They were getting their asses kicked conventionally.

    Guerilla warfare is used when a conventional war cannot be fought. If the West wasn't supplying Ukraine, they, too, would be forced to resort to guerilla warfare.

    Sure. The Viet Cong were not equipped or trained for a conventional war. They fought the war they could fight. My point went to the casualty difference you mentioned. But, as you say, it also explains how the VC were able to fight a superpower to a standstill.
