I like that way of phrasing defeat there Khazadman - "not allowed" to win. I play Snooker quite a lot and the guy I play with often doesn't allow me to win - is this the same situation?
Its a disturbing right wing tendency I've seen to see the Vietnam war as lost from within. It helps uphold the rather dangerous view that if America were agressive enough it could go anywhere, do anything, and deal with any consequences. I'm afraid that in this day and age no military is that strong.
