Or "According to speeches by Gen Westmoreland, Gen McCaffrey, and President Nixon, these are the facts of the Vietnam War..."

"Restraining the military in Vietnam in hindsight probably prevented a nuclear war with China or Russia..." Really? Nixon had to drag the Joint Chiefs kicking and screaming to use the B-52's in Linebacker II. They actually voted in secret to label it a political decision, not a military decision, because they disagreed with the president. Who was being restrained?

There are so many facts and statistics about Vietnam that on a statistical basis some of them are bound to be true. The war has been over for more than 35 years.
