...Those North Viet Namese were defending their country just like you and I wou if some bastards invaded us. They were gutsy hard assed little guys and after all is said and done I respect them for defending their country....

That vet is mistaken. The NVA and Viet Cong invaded South Vietnam. They weren't "defending thier country", they were invading a soveriegn nation.

The US bombed North Vietnam in order to stop the invasion.

South Vietnam. They weren't "defending thier country", they were invading a soveriegn nation.

Maybe you can answer a question. Did we have a treaty with South Viet Nam, like SEATO or something? If so, we were honor and duty bound to come to the defense of the south.
