    The freedom to run their own country whether that’s into the ground or into prosperity its the right of the vietnamese to self govern.

    Huh? Both North and South Vietnam gained independence in 1954. The South Vietnamese had an elected government by 1968. North Vietnam had a dictatorship so the people couldn’t run their own country. Then North Vietnam robbed South Vietnam of the ability to run their own country.

    North Vietnam was literally fighting to deny the people to run their own country. To this very day nobody in Vietnam gets to choose their own leaders. The people are not allowed to govern themselves. But South Vietnam got to elect their own leader in 1968.

    How you don’t know that French colonialism ended 10 years before Americans arrived is bizarre.
