Pessimism in Iraq and the Myth of Vietnam
Contributed by J D

By Col. Tom Snodgrass

Consequently, when the Democrat controlled congress cut off military aid to South Vietnamese forces fighting the North Vietnamese Army (similar to how Senator Clinton has just proposed cutting off military aid to the Iraqis who are fighting the Islamic insurgents), South Vietnam was overrun and conquered by a conventional army, not an insurgent force. However the U.S. media and American leftists, both of whom were anxious to continue the fiction of Viet Cong moral superiority and U.S. illegality, heralded the triumph of "the people's Viet Cong" over the "U.S. aggressors." The American people totally bought the left's Viet Cong victory propaganda line and tried to forget the whole sorry affair.
