I'm not sure that Goldwater said those exact words, but it means the same thing... use more than ample military force to defeat the enemy.

Why what? Defeat the enemy? That's what is supposed to be done in a war.

No, use "more than ample military to defeat an enemy"?

You win a war with AMPLE military. I agree you can't win a war with LESS than ample military. But my question is why MORE than ample military when just AMPLE military could have won the waR?
Because Weaponry is useless without the proper knowledge and tactical ability.
Something which, at the time, the US lacked.

The knowledge was there, of course. It was much harder fighting the Germans and Japanese 20 years earlier.Originally Posted by IBrake4Rainbows
Unfortunately, the Vietnam war was fought politically, not militarilly. I remember that some troops were sent there with no bullets for their guns (they had to wait for orders to fire).

What in God's Name does WW2 have to do with this; Next on Fleet's Patented List of Red Herrings........Originally Posted by Fleet 500
Helping to win WW2 does not give the US free reign over the world.
Political battles I can agree with, but the Understocking of Troops in Unjustified wars is common place; hows about unarmoured-soldiers fighting in Iraq.
What troops need is our support, what governments need is a clip over the ear and a dose of reality.
