That sort of thing coupled with the way the war was being prosecuted by our side pretty much killed any political support for the war in the US.

That was always part of the problem with our war against Communism. The enemies of Communism were usually corrupt. They were usually much better than the Communists, but most had serious issues. The Communists slaughtered well over a million people after the end of the war. Communist regimes throughout the world slaughter 100 million people in the 20th Century. So as bad as the people we supported were, they usually could not hold a candle to how evil Communists were.

The anti-communist leaders, some, let alone most of them, were hopelessly corrupt, hell-bent on power, or even worse, covertly siding with the communists and using them as puppets to achieve their own agendas. That was what caused southern Vietnamese people (like my parents) to suffer the consequences.
