Following the Battle of Bunker Hill (1775) during the American Revolutionary War, British General Henry Clinton remarked in his diary that "A few more such victories would have shortly put an end to British dominion in America." This remark was a paraphrase of a much earlier (279 BC) remark by King Pyrrhus of Epirus following the battles at Heraclea and Asculum during the Pyrrhic War. The king's armies defeated the Romans, but in the process sustained devastating losses. Google "Pyrrhic victory" for much, much more.
Impact?-Vietnam veterans couldn't talk about the war, had to hide the fact that they served there...or even in the military in some cases. Why?-because people made sour faces at them, or made some snide remark (negative remark)...short answer; it started arguments. In some cases it could start a fist fight. Short over-all answer: Vietnam wasn't popular, and the men who fought weren't popular. So why bring it up.
