I was only born long after VN war ended. I never understood why the USA simply didn’t march west from Khe San to the border of Thailand. Have our Thai allies reinforce their Norther border, and cut the Ho Chi Minh trail in half. At that point, Laos is only 100 miles wide.
Would the North vietnamese have wanted to start a full on frontal war with the USA? I highly doubt it.

I’ve been watching PBS’s Vietnam War documentary. We should have never gotten involved in what was basically a civil war.
