You are correct. I misspoke about the aircraft. However, they were still lesser equipped. We had the most advanced military. History is full of examples where the more "advanced" military gets defeated. Look at Germany in WW2. We are still fighting in Afghanistan.
US had the F4 Phantom and the Vietnamese had MIGs supplied by the Soviets with Soviet or Chinese pilots. Until the US figured out how to fight the MIG in air to air combat, the F4s got spanked. Advances in SAM detection helped too.
The ground war was a clusterfuck for many reasons, just like Afghanistan is now.
Does everyone REALLY think arming teachers will stop gun violence?
