In reply to the discussion: No longer defending Israel [View all]SunSeeker
(52,205 posts)The US Army had to fight in unfamiliar territory, was lacking in moral, were not prepared for the conditions, could not shut down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and were untrained to respond to guerilla warfare. This combination of disadvantages and the loss of public support led to the United States withdrawing from Vietnam.
We were done wasting American lives on a hopeless war.
The Israelis are not losing in Gaza. They will not stop the fighting unless Hamas turns over the hostages.
BTW, to your point that "starving and dead children make one hell of an add[sic]," who do you think will make this ad? Republicans? They love Bibi and want him to lay waste to Gaza, so no. But Putin would make such an ad, and has in fact been doing so through his internet trolls. Putin loves the division among Dems the Gaza issue has caused, because it helps Trump.
