But this time, president trump has tweeted that
I don't like Trump, but he's right about that one.
It doesn't help that a lot of people are still ambivilent about the war to this day.
Yeah we eventally won, but we lost so many people, spent so much money, and so many people died that a lot of people honestly do not feel it was worth it. Sure Vietnam eventally became an Asian tiger and a functional democracy but a lot of people wonder if it was worth all the blood and treasure.
You only need to look at the prosperous streets of Vietnam to have an answer to that. If you're still not sure, look at the streets of any Communist nation and you'll have your answer for certain.
It wasn't easy, it wasn't cheap and it wasn't free, but it was all worth it.
