Never got involved in the first place.

I dunno…maybe actually holding captured territory instead of vacating hills 30 minutes after spending 3 days taking them.

Used nuclear weapons in North Vietnam, early; or pulled out completely as JFK had planned before he was assassinated.

Bombed the shit out of Hanoi.

Hindsight is 20-20. I believe I would have weighed the evidence and seen that - all things considered in the US and in South Vietnam - there was no logical path to 'victory'. Exit the war.

Full on invasion of North Viet Nam or get the hell out. Same thing Trump is up against today.

Follow the enemy wherever they go. Level the North

For all those advocating, a la General Curtis LeMay's advocacy to "bomb them back to the Stone Age", especially Hanoi, I invite you to review the semi-annual Pentagon/ State Department SIGMA wargames conducted 1962 through 1967. The U.S. NEVER won any of the SIGMA wargames run by the Joint War Games Agency/Joint Staff in the Pentagon from ~1962 to 1967, with participation from State Department, CIA, Defense, and senior officials. The wargames involved Blue (US/South Vietnam) vs. Red (North Vietnam/Viet Cong, sometimes with Chinese/Soviet sub-teams) teams, Hanoi was not always treated as the decisive enemy center of gravity. Blue teams often assumed bombing North Vietnam could coerce the regime or starve the southern fight. Wargame outcomes repeatedly undercut this. North Vietnam’s agrarian, resilient economy needed only modest supplies to sustain the southern fight. Bombing stiffened rather than broke resolve. The Viet Cong could choose when/where to fight and use sanctuaries; Chinese/Soviet reactions and US domestic opinion mattered more. In Sigma II-64 (September 1964, post-Tonkin Gulf), Blue intensified bombing plus added Haiphong mining, targeting airfields, bridges and industrial targets). LeMay advocated such a sixteen-day campaign but the SIGMA II-64 wargame showed escalation spiraled without decisive effect and stiffened resistance. The participants expected increased USAF and USN losses would sour U.S. public opinion and decrease popular support. (At that time, North Vietnam had 2,400 antiaircraft guns but only 22 early warning radars. In early 1965, the North's antiaircraft guns increased to 2,100 AAA guns and surface to air missile batteries began arriving.

Taken the Gloves off! no political leashes Laos and Cambodia would have been fair game

I would not have gone in after the French defeat. 🫡

completely disregard congress and let the war fighters do their fucking jobs! Vietnam could've been finished in 2 or less years...

Copy enemy tactics. Hell, even use the tunnel system if I was on the American side.

Started bombing in 65. Or stay the F ____out of it . Let them drain their economy , fighting each other. 58,000 guys died so we could move Shoe manufacturing out of New England and furniture manufacturing out of the Carolina.

Let them win.

Invade the north

Won it.

Turned Hanoi into a parking lot.

Invented the A10 Warthog

Vietnamization from Day 1.

Keep the politicians out of it

Remained in an advisory role.

Continue the Bombing campaign we had them beat they were ready to surrender but once again a Democrat controlled congress made Nixon stop and we lost another war because of them and gutless Republicans.

Bomb N Vietnam … Hanoi if necessary .. It’s be over in 24 hrs … Peace Deal … China 🇨🇳 had shit in 1965-68 … LBJ was a killer evil man

Bomb the fuck out of Hanoi- and don't stop until Ho Chi Mihn begged us to stop and surrendered unconditionally.

I got one better: Allow the nuking of the China-Korean boarder at McArthur's request. Would've saved time in Korea while stopping China. Would've prevented Russia from even trying to help Vietnam if any Commies were there at all.

Let the military conduct the war and keep the politicians out of it.

Shouldn’t have ever been there

Turned loose the war fighters and keep the politicians out of it.

Not entered the war.

Not gone over at all.

ill pull all the troops out and put the politicians in there to fight.

I was there 69,70,71...turn it over to the military...with the instructions..WIN!!

Send the boys home

Carpet bomb North Vietnam until surrender. Allowed military action any place the enemy was located including Thailand, Cambodia and Loas. Cut off all supplies to North Vietnam from China and the Soviet Union. In summary, do what is necessary to win not some police action.

Died of agent Orange at 39. All of the people who agreed to this war are now in hell. It says in writeup that he was in the Korean War but considering he was born in 47 - that would have been a bit difficult. God bless everyone who experienced Vietnam. What a nightmare. orlandosentinel.com/1986/11/…

Stay at home.
