Watching something on TV with that in background and remembering my dad’s stories, is there really any defense for it, other than they may have honestly thought they were correct

Those Koreans were a fierce enemy.

We were definitely weaker afterwards with nothing to show for it but tens of thousands of casualties and billions of dollars wasted.

Might have been the first time Americans en masse realized our government was an absolute piece of shite that doesn't give a frick about the money they take from us or the lives of its people.

Major mistake. And frick Ali for running away from it when my uncle was forced to go and was killed at 19 years old.

There are a lot of defenses for it. And there are a lot of arguments against it. It's not a yes or no easy question.

Just answer this question: is the capital of Vietnam today known as Lyndon Baines Johnson City?

considering the geopolitical events at the time the United States is right to pick up where France was unable the problem was We let the politicians fight it and not the generals
We had won the war but the North Vietnamese Russians and Chinese knew that if they just kept up the pressure that the politics back in America would shake our country's will to win
And the way we treated the returning vets was absolutely shameful

If we don't fight this war, communism will spread. Our young men need to die to contain it there.
2023: communism is everywhere.

Just another example of the US sticking it’s nose where it doesn’t belong. The Gulf of Tonkin incident was another in a now long line of false flags.

Should have never been involved in a half war. If you’re committing men to battle you better be prepared to do what’s needed to win.

The war was perpetrated by professional soldiers using the blood of ordinary citizens.
The professional soldier has no legitimate place in US society. He is the usurper of Washington, Jefferson, and Hale.

The Tet Offensive, the turning point of the war, was in fact a military failure for NV
Giap & other NV generals were flabbergasted to see the US Media portray it as a success

Big mistake. My Dad lost his childhood best friend in that shite hole. All for nothing.

What a time to have been alive...you should have been there...a lot of great guys never came back..and we gave it to those sobs in the end.

Huge mistake. Many young men were sacrificed in a war that gained nothing.

LBJ made a mistake escalating in 1964.
