[QUOTE="db-2, post: 445208, member: 4743"] When the north took over the south, I assume it became a communism state and not sure but maybe some of the other countries where communism also. And I was told the same thing, that the goal was to stop the spread of communism. On that hilltop the army had four guns, the marines next door had four guns and then the ARVN had the other half with 105 and 155 guns. Maybe about 4-6 acres. In time it was obvious that the south would not remain and only a matter of time being when we left, they would fall. I do not believe they could be a free country like we were. They needed a government that would take care of them and their goal was to only stay alive and be left alone with their water buffalo. Hell, they did not feed their troops even and they were on their own for food. Nixon was bringing the troop home due to public opinion and they had to know this was a waste to be there as the goal could not be reach and all that was being accomplish was killing. Time to leave. And for a lot of us that was hard to take in view of what happen to us in the past, while we were there. We should of know that the goal was not reachable. The price was too high. In hindsight we should have never been there. But with the draft LBJ had an unlimited supply of young men and women. But we did the best that we were trained to do. It just was costing us to much for something that could not be. db [/QUOTE]
