Answer 1

He lists statistics that show how unlikely it is that the U.S. will ever win the Vietnam War.

Chomsky’s main tactic is a sustained appeal to facts and evidence—figures on bombing tonnage, casualty counts, troop commitments, and historical patterns—to undermine official claims and show the war’s futility.
