I am finishing up “The Vietnam War” by Ken Burns. I have never done this in-depth a look of the entire war. But this series seems to show that everything we could have done wrong we did do wrong. Damn. Was there anything we could have done other than not getting involved at all?

I think our history, especially, and history, generally, shows it's a bad idea for a foreign power to get involved in another country's civil war.
