The US government conducted a 7,000-page classified study in 1967 that concluded the Vietnam War was unwinnable, yet government officials continued to publicly promise victory, request more troops, and send 58,000 Americans to die while secretly documenting the futility of the conflict. This deception was revealed in 1971 when Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers, exposing that four presidents had lied about the war and military leaders were writing about exit strategies while publicly demanding more soldiers.

They knew Vietnam War Was Unwinnable While Sending 58K Americans solders #history #war #militaryAdded:
Did you know the US government wrote 7,000 pages documenting why the Vietnam War couldn't be won while sending 58,000 [music] Americans to die in it? In 1967, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara had a secret. He quietly ordered a study of the Vietnam War. The conclusion was devastating. Every military strategy had failed. Every escalation [music] was pointless. The war was unwinnable. But here's the twist. While this report sat in classified files, the same government officials went on television. They promised [music] victory was coming.
They asked for more troops. They sent more young Americans to fight, [music] all while knowing it was hopeless. For four years, this continued. [music] Then Daniel Ellsberg leaked the papers in 1971. The truth exploded across newspaper headlines. Four presidents had lied. Military leaders knew they were losing. Officials were writing memos about exit strategies while publicly demanding more [music] soldiers. The ultimate betrayal? The same people sending Americans to die were documenting exactly [music] why those deaths meant nothing. When you lie about war, you don't just betray your enemies.
You betray everyone [music] who trusted you.
