I'v got a question for anyone that would care to answer. All of the fighing seemed to be focused in South Vietnam, why. Would we today, if we declared war on North Vietnam, take it to North Vietnam, instead of killing the South. It was the South that wanted free of the North. We did that in Korea. China did not want to tolerate US forces occupying land close to the Chinese border, so when we got close in Korea, the Chinese entered the war. We did not want to repeat that in Vietnam.

The worst thing happened: people became disconnected from their government.
