Uh yes, seeing as how the Vietnam war started in the fucking 50s and didn't end till the 70s, yes they probably did think the US could win.
The US built up south Vietnam to unprecedented levels, its called "The Construction Miracle", the build up of south Vietnam is still one of the largest fastest construction build ups of all time.

Not really related to the topic of this thread, but now that photos from the Soviet-Afghan war are mentioned, have this classic pic. Valintatalo used to be a Finnish grocery store.
Charles Myers
FinBol is not going to like this.
James Reed
He's a smart guy. I doubt he ever bought anything from that overpriced shitty store.

That NK pic is pretty damning considering even the pictures on NASA's site of the korean peninsula are doctored.
Matthew Powell
How do you think North Korea looks like?
Ian Rivera
Better than Indonesia that's for sure.
Adrian Brown
Uhuh, sure, not because he was a traitorous scumbag.
Against what, a UH-1?
citing the official company's capability stats, moreoever an imperialist warmongering one that is part of the military industrial complex… I don't believe it, especially going by the results of Afghanistan. Following this, that would mean the soviet Igla has a 95% kill rate because they judged the Stinger to be worse than it in performance tests with captured ones.
Bentley Richardson
Solid materialist analysis fam.

MANPADS work, and the stinger missle has a good reputation inside and outside burgerland.
All SAMs and MANPADs have an inherent advantage against aircraft. And the guerilla tactics they enable have an inherent advantage against conventional forces. Can't believe you can't see the conflict of interest in believing the Soviet account of how effective stingers were.
