    Sure we could've invade the north and kill everyone. Then when the ChiComs interfere kill them to would've been ww3 most likley. We certainly could've done so though hell we could've just nucked them. The "loss" in Vietnam being near purely political isn't controversial.

    I don't know if it counts but it might. One thing that always bothered me coming up in Eastern Martial Arts. Is the level of dismissal of Western arts like boxing and wrestling. So I guess the historical in accuracy is that only eastern arts are "martial arts".
