I'm having a little trouble trying to work out why America went into Vietnam.
I was assured it was to save the democratic world from the evil communist threat but, regardless of the reasons for it, you lost and went home.
After that withdrawal, there was no change at all in the world order.
Given that, can anyone explain why the United States went to Vietnam, spent a massive pile of your taxpayers' money, and killed a load of your own people?
Because at the time, Communism was viewed as a major threat to our way of life. A lot of people really believed that the Communists would try to take over the US, so stopping communism wherever we could was mandatory. Remember how Joseph McCarthy destroyed so many lives by accusing just about anyone of being a communist or a communist sympathizer?
