Roscoe, this whole thread illustrates a classic example of a complete failure in logic and revisionist hindsight. Let us ASSume that the above post is true, and I have no doubts that the NVA Generals certainly felt that way at the time and are reporting accurately. Now let us also ASSume that there was never any peace/anti-involvement in Vietnam movement (whatever you want to call it).

Now please tell me how you know in the absence of the above movement that "hundreds, if not thousands, of US personnel" would have lost their lives anyway. In fact, how do you know that even more would have lost their lives because of an even longer involvement?

You don't. Thus, it is a dumb ass argument.
