Of all the hairs to split.




You're point was that US intervention against Communist attempts to take over countries always made things worse. I'm sorry but you're point is patently wrong and Korea is the prime example. But don't forget about places like the Philippines and Taiwan that are not Communist thanks to the US. What made things worse in Vietnam (and the rest of Indochina) was not that we were there, it's that we abandoned them after the fact.

You can't manufacture a will to fight, as we never seem to learn (see Iraq.) By contrast, Thailand was next door to the shitshow and was never under serious threat, putting to rest the Domino Theory.
