Almost every one knows that the vietnam war was a disiaster not becouse of troops and bad intelligence but rather the fact that the key targets were politicaly defended unless the executive branch gave the order. This I think limited our power to stop supplies from going to the front lines and destroying specific targets that would have kept the enemy from being resupplied. I still don't understand why we didn't blockade the vietnamese ports from communist countries that supplied them. Any comments would be appreciated.
