Vietnam war.....fighting a guerilla war with 8000 mile long supply lines, with no bombing allowed of North Vietnam, and not even oil fields present, what could go wrong?

The real tragedy was about to happen next door in Cambodia, ironically it was the NVA that put a stop to it.

Probably within a year history will repeat itself with the fall of Kabul.

Vietnam was salvageable, I don’t think anything can help Afghanistan.
Around the mid-80s, Vietnam pretty much figured out that Communism was for the birds and adapted a more market-based economy, you’d never know it was Communist today, although it is still very authoritarian.

I visited Vietnam in 2016. Nice country, nice people.

My understanding is there’s very little resentment towards Americans, and they are treated well there.

Absolutely, I enjoyed my visits to port cities in Vietnam during a cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore.

"no bombing allowed of North Vietnam, and not even oil fields present, what could go wrong?" Well, we didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings..

Nice country, nice people.
My oldest son traveled extensevely throughout Asia. Of all the countries he visited he said VN was the most beautiful, had the best food and the nicest people.
My experience wasn't quite the same :o

In the end, it was the cutting of aid that doomed South Vietnam. IF they had sufficient popular support amongst their own population, they still required arms, and Dems in Congress stopped the aid. President Ford was livid, knowing we were abandoning them, but there was nothing he could do.

I watched an interview with a disillusioned veteran who described friends saying it was great the war was over; because he knew what the communists were, he replied that while he opposed the war he didn’t see that outcome as a positive thing at all.
The implementation was problematic; the cause itself was just.
