Well, I disagree, Mike. I consider a large part of what is going on economically around the world as “globalized capitalism” and not “collaborative communitarian enterprise”. Same enemy; different name. The world is still divided by the two dominant economic systems and it is inherent in the thinking of Marxists that human progress is dependent on the advance of socialism across the globe. When I hear someone say that such concepts are outdated, it just means to me that you are fine with the status quo. I am not.

All the world is led by linguistic framing. Surely you know this Left Man.
Capitalism, Socialism and Communism are as outdated as the Edsel. For anyone who reads even a smidgen of world politics knows , this is the age of “collaborative communitarian enterprise” . Ergo the Oil deals in my old War, called Vietnam.
The Global economy trumps all economic concepts. We need a new lexicon. All else is like sending a pregnant woman to Weight Watchers.

Overall, I find the statistical information about the American forces very interesting. I surely would have guessed that the percentage of lower income and “other-than-white” soldiers would have been higher than their percentages in the population as a whole.

I wonder how these demographics of a draftee military compare to those in today’s all volunteer military?

Finally, though the Soviet Union is no more and China is now a capitalist economy, to assert the “end of communism” is a little premature. I think we’re making a nice comeback in Latin America.

That’s what the loser of a war always says afterward.
Ho Chi Minh has less trouble stating who won.

You cannot loose a war that was not intended to be won. We don’t kill people we need.

“Another myth that the Domino Theory was proved false is incorrect.”
Total nonsense – even the proponents of “the Domino Theory” like MacNamara adimit that the Domino theory was wrong, as was our rationale for entering the war in the first place.
You really have to have a distorted world view to think that LOSING a war stopped “the enemy”
And it had nothing to do with “ending communism”, if anything it was just a temporary setback for US militarism.
The Soviet’s version of Vietnam, Afghanistan, deserves much more credit for “ending communism”.
But in the long run neither had anything to do with “communism” or “freedom” and were examples of the limits of the two empires power.
