RE: I’m old enough to remember the Viet Nam era.
Bottom line and in hindsight, was it worth it for America to get involve?
We had that war won in 1970.
The communists were preparing to pursue a truce, until the likes of John Kerry and Jane Fonda talked them out of it.
Absent the betrayal by Congressional Democrats, South Vietnam could probably be free and prosperous today, much like South Korea.
None of us ever considered the conflict to be as political and insidious as it was.
I've concluded Vietnam was a way to get rid of the angry young (white) man, bursting on the scene, aspiring to be politicians intent on throwing out the establishment.
