That was because of poor leadership and the fact that we were fighting with one of our hands tied behind our back in a "limited" war. The anti-war movement back home didn't help things either.

The Chinese have a population of what, 1.3 billion people. That's about a billion more than you. They could put more peope in uniform than you have people in the USA.

Oddly enough, the Chinese tried using human wave tactics and tried to overwhelm vastly outnumbered UN positions during the Korean War, only to either be thrown back or held off. Plus, it also got them over a million dead on their side as well. Not to mention that we have battlefield use weapons like air fuel bombs that could easily annihilate their positions. Bottom line being, having a shitload of manpower does not mean jack shit in war.
