The Republic of Vietnam fell when we cut aid.

If we’d kept up support, and it continued to survive, you could have called that a win.

The war itself. We didn’t need to get involved.

If we hadn't gone to Korea, if we hadn't gone to Vietnam, if we hadn't helped in Afghanistan, there would still be a USSR, we would still be on the brink of nuclear war, and we would be outnumbered in the world by communists.

My only complaint was we went in with half-hearted commitment and no resolve to destroy the enemy. Giving communism a foothold in North Korea and Vietnam not only lead to the deaths of millions of people, but also prolonged the cold war another decade.
