The United States must not forget what transpired during the Vietnam War, said Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his latest blog posting on the assassination of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani.
The prime minister noted that the US is the greatest power in the history of mankind and its military has the capacity to wipe out the whole of humanity.
“But the Americans must remember the Vietnam War.
“The great power, employing all its military might, all its technology and huge sums of money was defeated by the black pajama-clad unimpressive, undersized Vietnamese.
“Tens of thousands of American soldiers died. Many more seriously wounded both in body and mind. For all these sacrifices, what has America gained? Nothing, truly nothing that could not be gained by peaceful means,” he added.
Mahathir said the Vietnamese, on the other hand, fought and died for their nation and their patriotism was justified.

To be fair, the Vietnamese had much more longer jungle / guerrilla warfare experience compared to the Americans (and their ANZAC, Koreans, etc.. allies troops) such as fighting the Japanese (WWII) > French and then the US (and later Cambodians). So they had seasoned veterans in their ranks and they are fighting on home turf.
