The AHC is to produce a U.S. intervention in the style of - if not on the scale of - Vietnam in a sub-Saharan African country by, say, 1980. Such intervention must be for the express purpose of containing Communism (or whatever nationalistic reinterpretation of it) in Africa and possibly the Third World as a whole. This can either be to the exclusion of or in tandem with the similar US interventions in Korea, Indochina, and Latin America. Bonus points for producing the same "world of shit" culture that came about during the Vietnam war: an impression that the war was not an ordinary one, was ultimately unwinnable or far too great a sacrifice, and a resulting massive loss of U.S. military prestige.
Is such a thing plausible? Did First World strategic interests extend to Africa in such a way as to make the rise of Communism in any given a threatening contingency? And if it had happened, how would that affect wartime American culture - especially with regard to African-American soldiers and civilians?
