At least Vietnam eventually figured out that Communism was BS.

Most people, nations, & businesses eventually do.
Communism is a heresy against the way any civilization should operate & organize itself.

I attended college in california and met a lot of people from SE Asia. Their summary of "life back home" after the commies took over is sad.
The American GI is all that stood between those people and outer darkness. And when we left, tens of millions died. Even including Laos and Cambodia.
People ignore that reality.

I do think that when the Vietnamese army liberated Cambodia from Pol Pot, they began to understand how wrong the doctrine was, and within a few years pretty much abandoned hard-core Marxist-Leninism. Yes Vietnam is still autocratic, but really it’s not much different than say, Singapore.

Oh do pound sand, twerp - we kicked NVA/VC butt - without any help from you, I would guess. Yep. The VC was almost totally destroyed during the Tet Offensive. But TV showed the embassy almost being overrun, and all the casualties in Hue. The propaganda war was lost. And all those useful idiots here at home.... And in the long run we got the boat people fleeing and ultimately the slaughter in Cambodia.

I never thought of it that way.
I pray it worked in his case.
But I doubt it.

Well, thank you - all anyone has to is hint, lightly, that we lost our war and/or our motives were anything but the very best, I’m like a bull going after the idiots waving the red flag!
I am permanently at war with the draft-dodger wing of our freerepublic.

It’s certainly more visible/pervasive than it’s ever been, thanks to POTUS45.

Say what you will about Ellsberg but Nixon and LBJ were worthless scum-sucking criminals. The blood of millions is on their hands.
