Vietnam War and question for the boomer generation

Why were we even there?

Was it that domino theory nonsense?

History proved there was no Domino Theory
All the evils we predicted if Vietnam turned Communist never happened.
We killed millions needlessly because we couldn’t mind our own business
Untrue to the max. The North Vietnamese and their USSR and Chi Com allies made killing innocent civilians policy and killed millions. North Vietnam occupied portions of Laos and Cambodia as well as South Vietnam so the domino was in effect and progressing at the time. Jane Fonda gave material and propaganda aid to the enemy during time of war and was a blatant traitor and should have been executed for her crimes against our Nation.

They killed millions, Fonda killed nobody and saved lives by turning the public against the war.
 
After WWII, there were calls from around the world that imperialism should be put to rest and countries should all have their own representation. Viet Nam, with Ho Chi Min had begged the UN and United States to have his country be free of the French imperialism rule. But the French who were devastated by the war, didnt want to relinquish their rule of the gooks of Viet Nam, and the UN and Truman agreed with France. So Ho Chi, went to war with the French, and we all know how that ended....

Thank the French and Democrats for always getting US fucked....
We had a choice between a free Vietnam or a return to French Colonialism
We chose the French

Cost millions of lives
Free? You must be friggin kidding! Under oppressive Communist colonialism rather than as a republic? Those that weren't slaughtered out of hand or sent to "re-education" camps? You must be a mental health poster boy.
 
In science, one verifies one's observations by submitting them to peer review. I remember something very clearly from the Vietnam War, but liberal friends and acquaintances tell me it never happened. I have done internet research, but I can't find anything in regards to this issue. Now I know she made those comments before the internet, but they should be in the history of the time. So here is the question for all the boomer generation that may be on this site: I remember Jane Fonda praising the Khmer Rouge for their victory in Cambodia; do you remember it? Do you have a source that would back up my memories?
How bout this found with DuckDuckGo:
Even in 1979, when the world was aware of the millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians murdered and starved to death by their communist victors, when even Joan Baez protested the Khmer Rouge slaughter, Jane Fonda refused to join in. As she then told the National Press Club, she was unable to confirm the accuracy of the charges.

This is more upsetting:
In 1972, having accused the U.S. of committing "genocide" by fighting communist takeover of South Vietnam, she volunteered for 10 vehement propaganda broadcasts for Radio Hanoi that called President Nixon a "new-type Hitler" and encouraged South Vietnamese soldiers to desert being "cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism," asserted U.S. pilots' bombing "makes one a war criminal," and she gleefully appeared around the world filmed in the firing seat of a North Vietnamese anti-air gun.

This piece of film she now admits was a "betrayal of the country that gave me privilege."

The hypocrisy and shallowness of this admission was quickly exposed when Jane Fonda defiantly added "I won't apologize" for her propaganda appearance with U.S. POWs, showing no remorse for some tortured for refusing to appear with her, by explaining in her morally blind view "both sides were using POWs for propaganda."

All the above from Jane Fonda is to be pitied
Not condemning is not the same as "praising"

Viet Nam, with Ho Chi Min had begged the UN and United States to have his country be free of the French imperialism rule.

Lets see
The choice that killing millions of Vietnamese to keep them from becoming Communist?

How can that make sense?

Her outright lies and propaganda unjustly turned many alleged Americans against American soldiers and one Vietnam veteran still commits suicide every 22 minutes. Thanks Jane you scum sucking bitch!

You can‘t be serious
Vietnam Veterans kill themselves because of Jane Fonda?

They kill themselves because American leaders sold them out and put them in a conflict they could not win. They killed a lot of people but could not win.

How does allowing the Communists to massacre them make them more "free"?

Of course American leaders sold them out right along with the South Vietnamese. The only reason the war was so protracted and is sometimes seen as a loss is because American leaders refused to let us win it.

Guess what?
50 years of hindsight showed the Communists did not massacre them. Vietnam stabilized after 35 years of nonstop war and now has a robust economy. They are better off now than they were under the French or Diem and his corrupt regime

No you were not going to “win it”
You would have been tied up in Vietnam for decades suffering extended guerilla warfare

Simply untrue the North Vietnamese freely engaged in massacre even before their slave Army successfully invaded. Massacre at Huế - Wikipedia
The people are better off under rich Communists than poor Communists?

Harry Truman and "Dugout" Doug MacArthur lied to everyone including the poor bastards who walked into a trap in Korea. The media ignored MacArthur's quirks and Truman's timid behavior and called Korea the "forgotten war". The media gave Harry and his age related mentally impaired appointed general a tickertape parade when we lost as many men in three years of Korea as the ten or so in Vietnam. Vietnam was the CIA's project and, thanks to LBJ, the generals sat on the sidelines while CIA clerks fresh out of college ran the show. Democrats who initially supported LBJ's adventure suddenly defunded the whole operation and left Nixon holding the bag. The media managed to blame Nixon for the unfortunate result.

The “massacre” was 35 years of endless wars killing millions of Vietnamese on both sides. We perpetuated it.

After 1975, Vietnam stabilized and now has a robust economy.

For years we had the troops and resources in place to invade and occupy North Vietnam and the result would have been a unified Vietnam Under the Republic of Vietnam. War over. We won. End of story.

You missed the lesson from Korea didn’t you?

Occupying the North would have brought China into the conflict
 
Fifty thousand young guys (many enslaved via the draft) died needlessly in that fucking useless fiasco. It made me ashamed to be an American.

I escaped it by joining the Navy.

And Jane Fonda remains a hero of mine for doing what she did.
You are wrong on so many points.

In Korea China entered the conflict and got it's ass kicked. You think they forgot that lesson?
