JD, I have read what General Bui Tin said. He said that the US lost the war at home, not on the battlefield. That is completely different animal than your claim that the Northern Generals were ready to quit after Tet. We fought for almost 5 years after Tet. Operation Linebacker didn't end till fall of 1972, 40,000 sorties, 124,000 tons of bombs, a similar number in the south, untold arty and mortar rounds, countless patrols and assaults. They were never going to quit, no matter how many battle losses, or how much they suffered. Bui Tin was right, he didn't have that upity democracy thing or that irritating 1st ammendment right to free speach that, I guess, form some peoples perspective, crippled the US effort. Nope, Ho Chi Minh, Generals Giap and Bui Tin didn't have to deal with anything like our Bill of Rights or political dissent . Walter K called it like he saw it, what treason do you think he comitted, what 1/2 truth didn't he tell ? So I guess my question is if we had to destroy our constitution and freedom to defeat communism in Vietnam, why bother ? I also don't think most understand just how broken our military (not to mention our society) was in 72-73. Yes, I felt sick watching the helecoptors being pushed off the aircraft carrier, and suspected the misery to follow, but what could we do in 73-75 that we couldn't do in 69 with 580,000 troops in country ?

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
