Jason The Argonaut, What evidence or examples do you have to suggest that the US armed forces aren't that well trained?

I seriously don't think the rescue was made up but I do think the media exaggerated on many things. At that point in the war with the US forces advancing fairly quickly and not being bogged down in any way, and public opinion in the US high, why would they need to make something like that up?

Though the US pretty much won every battle in that war, Vietnam was not a war supported by much of the American population, (unlike this war) which led to the huge demonstrations and Nixon promising the ...
