NO the problem is just as Vietnam where the USA was abiding by our SEATO treaty to protect an invaded nation and AT THE TIME you and others too young to understand the "cold war" affect.. FEAR the Chinese Communist would domino affect Asia... Look up that term as I lived through that period of the fear of the falling dominos in Asia!
I'm 55, you presumptuous dickhead. I missed out on the risk of being drafted for that war by one year.
As for the "domino effect," our defeat in Vietnam, and the fact that it was NOT followed by a "Communist takeover" of Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Japan . . . (seriously, the utter failure to understand what communism even WAS just blows the mind) proves conclusively that the domino theory was FALSE. Because the prediction was that such takeovers would happen if we lost in Vietnam. And we DID lose. And they DIDN'T happen.
