(January 18, 2017 at 2:08 pm)Catholic_Lady Wrote: I don't know enough about the Vietnam war to know whether it was a just war on our part or not, whether we should have gone to war with them at all. But I do know that the "best" war is a swift one. Trying to be too politically correct during a war only ends up making it take longer and takes more innocent lives with it. Either we go to war all out, or we don't go to war at all, imho.

It wasn't a just war. It was the West mingling in the affairs of a foreign country by supporting one dictatorship against the other. One capitalist, the other one communist. And all because the post war aera didn't see fit to hand back Vietnam back to the Vietnamese instead of reinstating the French colonial regime. The fight against them was but one of the reasons why Ho Chi Minh rose up to be something like a folk hero. The other one being that he already had led the fight against the Japanese during the war.
