What "war"? Viet Nam was a /Police Action/ by invitation of the
host country.
  And a police are a /totally/ defensive posture.
  What part of this do you still not understand after 40 years?

...

P.S.: The U.S. presence in Germany and Japan were definitively
police presenses and definitively defensive.
  But /we/ directed that presence; in the 'Nam, South Viet Nam
directed it.
  Ida said that two out of three isn't bad, but the fact is that two
out of two isn't bad.
  Iraq is looking pretty good to everybody but a few puling
Democrats with TV cameras.
  Because /we're/ running that one.
