***A historian argues that in Vietnam America’s cause was just...***
I wonder how many remember the fall of LAOS. When it fell, the US sent in the US military to seize the land on the Thai side of the border just in case the Laosians decided to cross the border into Thailand.
You mean that we were protecting the Thais from the Laotians?
I suppose. I’m a little conflicted about that. I’m not an isolationist by any means, but drafting young Americans to go protect Thais from their neighbors, even in the context of a war on communism...well, I’m just a little conflicted.
