Reply #6: What stopped the Vietnam War? Actually, not mythologically.

[Davis_X_Machina]

It wasn't people in the streets. The war had majority support on the day of The Mobe. It wasn't Congress cutting off funding -- although that came close, it came later -- in '72, and especially in '73.

It was the executive abandoning the enterprise, after calculating its costs and benefits -- political as much as financial.

Vietnamization, and the war's declining popularity in the Republican heartland.
