Yes. Plenty of blame to go around. But the funny thing is, the perpetrators all have one thing in common. Government.In a nutshell, the war was a terrible failure caused entirely by a corrupt political class. Of which, unfortunately, no one paid a price. As in all of America’s wars, the criminals who cause it seldom suffer any consequences, but the little people sure pay a high price.I'm watching it on PBS.
I'd like to talk about it. With someone.
There is a lot fake news about the war. Most people only know what Hollywood has told them.
The PBS series was terrible.
Do you lay any fault on the French?
Of the Vietnamese governments themselves?

Government is largely incompetent. Why people put so much faith in government to do the right thing, and actually accomplish stuff is beyond me. They fail again, and again yet the Democrats and their followers on the LEFT want a Big Government Solution for EVERYTHING. Madness.
Look how they even screw up war. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, etc.
How so?? ...The PBS series was terrible.

The series was basically told from the anti war prospective. It established moral equivalency to the Communists, which was despicable. It focused far too much on the opposition and missed much of the historical significance.
PBS has a history of putting Leftest spin on their historical documentaries and this series was no different.
PBS told the story of the Civil War from the perspective of the North, Baseball was all about evil White men not letting the Negroes play and the series on Vietnam was a anti war hit piece.
The series almost made me sick to watch it.

I was interested in the American perspective on that show.

Most of my fellow Vietnam Veterans thought it was a Liberal hatchet job.

btw the phrase, "beaucoup dinky dau" was a french/vietnamese saying used by America soldiers during the war. It was a derogatory term meaning that someone was "totally crazy". ....
A failed military escapade that cost 50,000 American lives.
Disgusting!
Do you have any idea how many Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian civilians were killed by US forces and their allies?In a nutshell, the war was a terrible failure caused entirely by a corrupt political class.

The war was caused by the Communists and fought by the Communists. They were brutal assholes that killed hundred of thousands of innocent Vietnamese.
The VC and and the NVA were the bad guys in that conflict. They were backed by the Soviets and the Chinese and they were brutal.

I lay much of the blame for the inept way the Vietnam war was run on Robert McNamara who was Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968.Thats what happens when you let politicians run a war.
