"he point was that the left claims the domino effect was false- that country after country would never have fallen- but only have the ability to make such a claim after the fact that we stood and opposed them from falling."
The point is you finally stated your point, instead of the unintelligible gibberish where you expected people to read the thoughts in your head when you haven't communicated them.
“They deny the domino effect yet forget we were grabbing swaths of dominoes from around the planet to stop their fall. The effect of Vietnam on the cold war therefore wasn’t just symbolic, or idealism, it was vital and tangible.”
I don’t think it was so cryptic to warrant the response given nor the interpretation its author was leftist.
