The ARVN: what went wrong?

>>3078768
They were manlets

>>3078768
Arab Oil Embargo due to the Yom Kippur war crippled many US allies. ARVN couldn't operated self-propelled artillery and tanks.

Americans then decided to follow their forefather anglos and become full perfidious.

In a proxy war, without a superpower's support, the result was inevitable.

Arabs and Anglos really.

People trained and equipped by a distant power to which they had no loyalty and motivated by "those commies are evil", unlike their counterparts, who were trained and equipped by themselves along with more nearby powers and who were motivated by ideological fervor.

I'm sure a lot of them were plenty motivated by the fear for their families safety once the commies reunited Vietnam. A well justified fear too.

No, Anon your ignorance is showing.

The USA never bothered to fully train them and until ~1967-1969 they only used American WW2 surplus.

Inferior tbqh

The entire government was a colossal clusterfuck. Why should the military be any different?

This.

North Vietnam had China and after the US left South Vietnam had jack shit.

No one wanted to fight for their leaders, my IT teacher at high school was an ARVN veteran at 16 before he said fuck it and ran away to Australia
