Reply #9: Did he happen to mention how many people were killed

[hiaasenrocks]

in the "weeks" before the violence receded?

I'm not making an argument about Vietnam or Iraq here. I'm simply saying that if that is all McGovern said about the violence after the US left, then he left out part of the story. Whether the policy was right or wrong, the facts are the facts.

EDIT: Part of the reason for the quick end to violence was the the North conquered the South in a relatively short period of time. It wasn't as though things just calmed down because the US left.
