I presume that as a lad Louie Gohmert really wanted to play war. He was a brigade commander for cadets in college, and he served as a lawyer in the Army after graduation. But he was just a little too young to get to go to Vietnam.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), speaking at conservative gathering CPAC, declared that "Vietnam was winnable, but people in Washington decided we would not win it!"
"If you go to war you better mean it," Gohmert added, blaming America's failure to go to war with Iran over the capture of its embassy in 1979 for more recent attacks on embassies and consulates.
I mean, do Republicans really wish we'd fought another ten years in Vietnam? Or used atom bombs? Or what?
Gohmert was part of a panel entitled "Too Many American Wars? Should We Fight Anywhere And Can We Afford It?"
