1965 - Vietnam War: The first 4,000 101st Airborne Division paratroopers arrive in Vietnam, landing at Cam Ranh Bay (Source)Here is what Ann Coulter has to say about the Vietnam War:
"Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost.""Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."
"In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."
"President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kenedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."
"Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"
"A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."
