GOP Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX) says we could have won Vietnam if we'd just stayed longer

I'm sorry, but that's crazy talk. This is the Republicans' hero? A guy who thinks the lesson of Vietnam is that we just didn't stay long enough? He's literally on the House floor right now saying that the only reason we lost Vietnam is because the Congress cut funding to the war. Yeah, because Vietnam was going so well before that, Congressman.

The Republicans have simply lost their minds. Their now arguing that Iraq is like Vietnam. And that we could have won in Vietnam just like we can still win in Iraq.

Sam Johnson seems sincere enough, but he's absolutely cuckoo. If I were the Democrats, I'd let him keep talking. The guy is nuts. And oh yeah, by the way, what did Sam Johnson or any of the Republicans do to help our veterans who are sitting in military hospitals with maggots literally crawling in their open bed sores? Hell of a way to support the troops, Mr. Johnson. Republicans like you let our troops down for years while you were in the majority, let them sleep in their own urine, let them become infested with maggots, and now you have the nerve to pretend to speak on behalf of our troops?

You people aren't just crazy, you're sick.
