“We whupped you Yankees at Manassass, and at Fredericksburg and at Chancellorsville and at Winchester…”

“Then how come you lost the war?”

“We musta got worn out whuppin’ you all the time!”

That’s like the, probably apocryphal, story of an American officer and NVA officer meeting after the Vietnam War.

American: You know, you never beat us in the field.

NVA: That is true. It is also irrelevant.
