the Viet Cong look better by claiming that they invaded Cambodia & overthrew the Khmer Rouge for "humanitarian" reasons, that's simply not why the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia

Not true.

Vietnam invaded Cambodia because of repeated incursions and rocket attacks by the KR into Tay Ninh and An Giang provinces.

The KR's venemous hatred for the Vietnamese was institionalized in its written ideology and strategic planning. It wanted more than anything to retake "Kampuchea Krom," the Mekong Delta area lost to the Vietnamese over the course of 500 years.
