You are correct...

There are those who have swallowed the false history-standard loss of Vietnam lies hook line and sinker. Americans and South Vietnamese prevailed in every battle-bar none. In fact, TET 1968 was a decisive victory for the South Vietnamese and American forces-the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces were decimated. Of course, the American mainstream media claimed it was a victory for the communists. North Vietnamese General Giap credited the American mainstream media with giving them new resolve.

As to the so-called "anti-war protesters", they only wanted one thing--to save their own skins--nothing more. In fact, when the draft ended, so did the protests. Even present-day "uber-patriot" Ted Nugent got in on the act, defecating and urinating on himself and not washing for a month before appearing before the draft board--he was sent home. He stated that Vietnam "was not his war"...

The American Vietnam war was not a civil-war but was an INVASION by the communist North Vietnamese, who wanted control of the whole country. The INVASION was allowed to continue when American troops left and South Vietnamese troops were not resupplied.

Those who have watched the Ken Burns’ schlockumentary on Vietnam, in which he built up the North Vietnamese while exacting harsh criticism (lies) on the American and South Vietnamese troops were exposed to Burns' lies and fabrications. Of course, to his credit, Burns let it slip that the re-education camps contrary to communist claims (actually prisons) would be in operation for approximately six months after the war was over, it turns out that many former South Vietnamese were detained for as long as twenty years.

Post-war Vietnam was so wonderful, tens of thousands of boat people risked life and limb to escape that communist paradise [silence].

Ask the Vietnamese who live in Garden Grove and Westminster California what they think...

No one died "pointlessly " in the Vietnam War. The men who went there fought in a noble cause to stop the spread of communism, perhaps the most vicious, murderous ideology in mankind's history. It's true that LBJ's advisers did a poor job in executing the war, but Nixon quickly turned that around, defeating the terrorist VC and forcing the NVA into full retreat. His military bombed the Reds into submission, forcing them to come crawling to the negotiating table begging for peace. A fair treaty was signed where the communists recognized S Vietnam and agreed to a ceasefire. If Nixon hadn't been forced to resign, the War would be remembered as a great American victory.

Had America not stood against the Reds in Vietnam, they would have been emboldened to continue expanding and invading. We'd have been fighting them in Japan and the Philippines and eventually the Western hemisphere. Those who supported this fight were on the side of the angels, your hippies and degenerates were wrong.
