What I meant to say was that a capital-intensive startup would need venture capital to take off, but in that case the VCs would own the company. The founders would not exactly go into debt. You're totally right. Going into debt is something

"Nope. The US merely needed to consolidate the Tet gains, which wiped out the VC. The NVA wasn't ready at the time." That seems over-optimistic to me. Yes, the VC took a beating during the Tet Offensive, but Khe Sahn was close to ending u

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. We haven't agreed on what we mean by "intervention". When I say that the U.S. should stop intervening in other people's business, I mean that the U.S. should stop planting brutal dictatorships arou

"Fair enough, but where is this line?" That's the difficult part, indeed. In WW2, the U.S. was attacked. The U.S. did not initiate aggression. Of course, it may be argued that the American foreign policy in the Pacific in the 1930s forced

Please. Even McNamara himself admitted that the "domino theory" was retarded. The U.S. should stop intervening in other people's business, period. Yes, the communists were brutal thugs, but it was their country and they should deal with it.

I entirely agree that one should try to learn from the past. I disagree on the "scale x intent" issue, though. The initiation of aggression is immoral, in my view. Attacking someone who did not attack you is wrong regardless of the death to

Good point. Only fools fall into the same trap twice. Millions of Americans served in Vietnam. I think the veterans will never forget nor forgive McNamara. He shall be remembered as the architect of one of the greatest crimes in History.

I get that. But imho it's a tiny bit distasteful contrasting them, isn't it? The total number of Vietnamese who were killed was to the tune of 3 million. That's a "semi-Holocaust". No one would compare a software glitch to the Holocaust, ri

So, you're comparing a software error to the act of initiating aggression and killing millions of people, including 58K of your countrymen???? If so, you need to put things in perspective, imho.

North Vietnam did not initiate aggression, the U.S. did. In fact, the Vietnam war was an undeclared one. How ironic. The longest war was never declared officially. About mistakes, let us see: - having the CIA planting a brutal, oppressive p
