Key Notes
The game-theory argument says America had strong incentives to guarantee Apollo success because a failed mission would break a country already strained by Vietnam, Soviet space superiority, and political assassinations.
Jiang uses Vietnam as an example where a weaker side used creative and flexible tactics against an American military doctrine that insisted on its own power.
Jiang says a future U.S. war against Iran would likely generate Vietnam-like protest and civil unrest in the United States, with anger at Israel becoming more salient than Chinese students' presence.
