At this point, ultimately, what difference does it make? MILLIONS of people died and many have been killed after the fighting stopped because of unexploded ordnance and chemical agents used to tame the undergrowth. Countries were devastated. The homeland internal dissent in the U.S. was extreme. Our military had no chance of winning the War from the second they conceptualized their strategy & scheme. Our military and spies were demoralized. The VA left many combat veterans out in the wind. Americans learned in great deal that their government not only lies to them about the War but spies on them too and will use water cannons, nightsticks, live ammunition & German-Shepherds to silence organized dissent. And even though we dropped more ordnance than all theaters of World War II, WE STILL ****ING LOST! The Pentagon bean-counters HAD KNOWN that the U.S. WOULD LOSE for a while before we ran out of dodge which resulted in more inhuman atrocities.
The Vietnam War should have never happened. Period. The depressingly sad part is that voices objected to the War from the get-go but were drowned out and silenced by the Hawks who wanted a War be it for security, strategy or own self-interest.
