I already explained that to you. Asia would have fallen to the commies en masse had we not engaged in Korea and then Vietnam.

As it was, the Soviets sensed weakness when we didn't leave a few divisions behind to buttress the South and sensing that weakness they spread their wings in South America where we are still dealing with marixist assholes like Chavez.

A proper war for good reasons is fine.

There is a war, the winner dictates terms of surrender.

Politically, the toll of Vietnam is also evident in path of public support for President Johnson from January 1965 through the end of December in 1968. The mounting casualties, along with domestic unrest, had a most corrosive impact on the president's support. In retirement, LBJ spoke of this. He referred to his Great Society program as a "beautiful woman" and noted that she was gradually replaced by the "bitch" that was the Vietnam War.
