FAILURE OF THE AMERICAN MILITARY IN THE NEO-COLONIALIST WAR IN VIET NAM (1954-1975)

  • Võ Văn Sen

Abstract

the paper analyses the failure of the basic prevailing thinking  adopted by the US military during the war of aggression in Viet Nam, specifically:  

- The over-estimate of US military capability, and its reliance on modern weapon technology       

- The US failure to obtain a strategic position of strength 

- The US failure to resolve conflicting military tactics between fighting fast and long-standing fighting, between diffusion and concentration, between defensive and offensive... when facing the Vietnam people's war.
