During that time period it made some sense. With the nuclear chess game that went on with the Soviets for 50 years it was justified to be ready and close to the potential threat.
Today, it makes no sense at all to me to keep troops there for another decade.
However,my original post was more about the apathy that exists today. You were around in the 70's. The north Vietnamese didn't beat the US army. The American university system did.
