Have no doubt, if we had the political willpower we could have easily won that war. But proxy wars tend to go that way.
If Nixon had not limited the Cambodian incursion to 12 miles or whatever it was. We would have forced North Vietnam into a peace deal similar to what NK signed. Damn pussy arse hippies.
As far as current southeast asia, I can't believe that Vietnam and the US and Japan haven't had any kind of talks to hold China at bay. Just allowing Japan to rearm would solve alot of the problem.

One of the paradoxes of Japanese politics is that the postwar pacifist charter became more popular with the nation it was imposed on than with the one that imposed it. As far back as the 1950s Washington was ready to see Japan rearm and share more of the burden in the Cold War. But Japan embraced its new identity as a peace nation. Article 9 was interpreted to allow a limited Self-Defense Force, but one barred from any belligerent fighting. As a result, the US alliance with Japan is highly asymmetrical — American forces are pledged to defend Japan if it is attacked, but the responsibility doesn’t go the other way.
Security-minded Japanese leaders have tried to change Japan’s defense policy, but until recently Article 9 has been an untouchable barrier.
