Ho Chi Minh was a US ally against the Japanese.
The mistake was the US bringing the French back to Vietnam.
It was the US that did that, by force.
We were always on the wrong side with Vietnam.
Jane Fonda did not give military secrets to North Vietnam, she made newsreels showing that they were normal human beings.
She got people to realize how bad it was to bomb them.
That is the perfect way to end the war, by simply turning US voters against it, by revealing the truth.
What is there that could be wrong with that?
And the good she did also saved US lives and money as well, since we never could have won, and we were just wasting lives and money.
Total horseshit...I was there, were you? BTW, we had that war won after Tet but LBJ didn't have the guts to finish it.
Being there meant you had absolutely NO source of information except the lies the military was feeding you.
For example, do you realize the Tet Offensive was ONLY South Vietnamese irregulars?
That was not at all close to winning the war by killing a lot of South Vietnamese irregulars.
The point anyone should have gotten from the Tet Offensive, what not that it was easy to kill irregulars, but that the Ky, Thieu, and Diem regimes were extremely UNPOPULAR!
You should not have been there.
No US forces should have been there.
Ho Chi Minh was extremely popular.
