First off whoever ended the Vietnam war should get a medal.... They actually listened to the will of the American people and ended a war that killed over 58,000 of our troops. Over what?
We were lied to to get us into this war (Gulf of Tokin), we should never have been there in the first place.
The United States was containing the spread of Soviet led Communism just as it successfully did in Korea with South Korea. South Korea is now one of the most highly developed nations on the earth thanks to US efforts. Had the United States CONGRESS not abandoned South Vietnam in 1973, it too would today be a highly developed, free democratic country. But instead, the democratic congress Abandoned South Vietnam to Soviet led totalitarian communism which has enslaved the people of South Vietnam since that time!
