lots of South Vietnamese wanted us there
....you make the mistake of a lot of people on a lot of issues---you think it's a board game/etc ....you are not thinking realistically/etc
Wrong.
The tiny minority who wanted us there were the people who had gotten wealthy by collaborating with the French and Japanese.
The vast majority did not want us there.
How could anyone in Vietnam not want Ho Chi Minh at leader, since he was the hero who defeated the French?
The only ones who did not like Ho Chi Minh were those who liked the French occupation.
