OK, I don't know much about Vietnam expect that we went in to stop the spread of Communism
Is that not correct? Why did the US really need to stop the spread of communism?
I just wonder because I didn't pay attention in History class.
But you know the books were written to make the US look like Angels in everything anyway.
Plus I have so many historically saavy people here to learn from, I though I would take up the opportunity.
Was Vietnam, basically a regime change thing? Should the US have really gone in?
I was listening to a program by drafted Vietnam vets who opposed the war and had been thrown in the stockade becaue of it (they were called the something 27, I cant remember). They were tortured by the MP's worse than the Iraqis. This is what got me wondering what others thought.
