How do you end a war honorably?

Question

We'd probably still be in Vietnam had we tried to leave honorably.....=\

Answer 1

by winning, of course

Answer 2

Yes, it seems our liberals have made the way Americans leave wars now is by sneaking out with our tails between our legs.  

Liberals only like war they way they're fought in the movies, where we're the heros after 1.24 minutes.  War is difficult and the liberals voted for it.  But they dont' have the integrity and self-repect to stick with anything that's hard.

You made my point, "liberals have made the way Americans leave wars now" --

Democrats used to be decent Americans.  That's why people say your party has been hijacked by the loony left, new Americans who want hand-outs, and trendy young protesters.

Answer 3

Libs were at the helm of Vietnam, too.

Answer 4

Honorable would have been not going in the first place.  

Suggesting a conversation on winning and losing is defeat in the disguise of patriotic rhetoric.

Elite financial interests utilize patriotic passion to influence the sons and daughters of Mainstream America to participate in this dubious "War In Iraq".  The real bottom line is how much defence contractors are profiting from human and material resources.

Society or economic and social interests are increasingly more complex than during the Vietnam Era.  Yet the same rhetoric is driving the spending.  There is a peculiar coincidence between the agenda of President John F. Kennedy to cease military operations in Vietnam and the subsequent assassination.

After receiving the Oath Of Office, President Lyndon B. Johnson authorizes an escalation of military operations in Vietnam.  Kellog, Brown, and Root  is the original Haliburton.  Tapping into the US Treasury via deep defense spending is their specialty.

The danger is that Mainstream America is conditioned to believe that someone else will send their son or daughter into battle while we cheer and wave flags.  Weaponry has become so sophisticated that fewer personnel are necessary than during Vietnam.  While sons and daughters of Mainstream America are in combat, President George W. Bush is planning and attending his daughter's wedding.

War In Iraq is beyond honorable anything.  Consider the economic down trend.  $300 Economic Stimulus Payment per taxpayer is nothing in comparison to what is being spent per Iraqi on the War In Iraq.  

"We The People" have been had.  Our children and grand children are being robbed by oligopoly.  The personal wealth and prosperity accrued since WWII which should be the inheritance of our children, grand children, and future generations is being drained by elite special interests.

Bringing home the troops will be more than honorable.  It will be morally correct.

Answer 5

The war was over in May 2003 as said by Bush.  We toppled their government, deposed their leader, disbanded their police force, took over control of all government functions.

We have been occupying them ever since.  And there is NO honorable way to end an occupation.

Answer 6

We could have left Vietnam with honor!  We had won that war!  There was no one more surprised when we left than the North Vietnamese!  They had nothing left to fight us with, they were done for, but the protesters won out, so we cut & run! We could have left South Vietnam free instead of in such horrid conditions, we could have save South Vietnam with honor, instead we left them to a horrid fate that was uncalled for by our government!  Perhaps you need to read up on Vietnam a bit more & know what was really going on there.  When we left Vietnam in such haste & shambles, it emboldened others to think that we were incapable of winning, we can't let that happen to this nation again or we will really be on the skids!

Answer 7

Peace agreement and withdrawal.
