Re: Hitting North Korea...
Actually, the Nixon Administration had negotiated, along with our South Vietnam allies, a peace treaty. This ain't like the "temporary armistice", negotiated with North Korea ... it was an actual peace treaty with demarcated lines.
Our pledge to South Vietnam, that if they were invaded .. we would supply arms, munitions, and assistance. When the north invaded, Kennedy (rapist and murderer that he was) through his maneuverings in the Senate, refused to even supply small arms ammunition. There was an interesting interview, with a former North Vietnam general, wherein he stated that their (North Vietnam's invasion of the South) would be a long and bloody conflict. However, they were surprised .. the South Vietnamese actually ran out of small arms rounds, within a few days.
Just one more example of Democrat Party members starting a war (jon kennedy) and then, Democrat Party members bringing great shame upon the US ... not even supplying ammunition. NO honor.
