South Vietnam was overrun by communists

US had to learn a very important lesson... the on the battle field they maybe strong, but the real WAR was to justify the war to their own people.. that's what U.S. lost... HOME SUPPORT!

And that's exactly what's happened in Iraq, and soon in Afgan too... after U.S. withdrew forces from Iraq... now what's happening there? all terrorists got killed? :lol: they are still there very active... only U.S came and went! :lol:

Why? NO HOME SUPPORT!

Iraq & Afghanistan are political issues

Iraq army/police is now operating, Iraq is more stable

They are now leaving Iraq, Afghanistan will take more time

US plans naval exercises with South Korea: Pentagon


The US military on Monday said it will carry out anti-submarine and other naval exercises with South Korea in the "near future" after a North Korean sub sank a South Korean warship.

The announcement came after an international investigation last week concluded that a North Korean submarine fired a heavy torpedo at the Cheonan on March 26, sinking the South Korean vessel and killing 46 sailors.

The decision to conduct anti-submarine as well as maritime interdiction exercises with Seoul's military "are a result of the findings of this recent incident," Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters.

He declined to say where the "important" exercises would be held or other details, but said they would take place "in the near future."

The White House said earlier that President Barack Obama had directed his administration to review North Korea policy and commanded his armed forces to work closely with South Korea "to ensure readiness and to deter future aggression."

Defense Secretary Robert Gates was expected to discuss tensions on the Korean peninsula in talks on Tuesday with his Japanese counterpart, Toshimi Kitazawa.

The United States and numerous other nations have condemned the attack, seen in Seoul as one of the worst provocations since the 1950-53 Korean War. The North's ally China, which wields a Security Council veto, has called on all sides to show restraint.

Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said last week that US forces in South Korea were at a "normal" state of readiness and were operating "routinely."

Whitman said the maritime interdiction exercises would be conducted under the US-led Proliferation Security Initiative, designed to stop trafficking in weapons of mass destruction.

He also said the Obama administration remained committed to a deadline for handing over wartime command of South Korean forces to Seoul in April 2012, despite the sinking of the warship.

"There have been no decisions to change the timeline" for transferring operational control in the event of a war, he said.

North Korea puts military on combat readiness

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has ordered his military to be on a combat footing, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said on Tuesday.

It quoted a local group of North Korea watchers as saying their sources there had told them Kim's command had been broadcast by a top military official.

Tensions have risen sharply on the peninsula after the South inmposed sanctions on its neighbour, which it accuses of sinking a naval ship in March, killing 46 sailors.

N.Korea to sever all relations with S.Korea

North Korea said Tuesday it was severing all relations with South Korea and cutting communications links, the official news agency reported.

The North said it would expel all South Korean personnel from a jointly-run industrial estate at Kaesong north of the border, and ban South Korean ships and planes from its territorial waters and airspace.
