After WwII the us exited the international stage with Korea Vietnam and almost every war since by fighting ideology instead outright aggression as in II I'm just not that patriotic I would fight if pressed like those men
@psteelers1288 If I'm not mistaken it was in the gulf of Tonkin. America was looking for a reason to go into SE Asia under the pretense of halting the expansion of communism. Boy were our men fucked.
the french were already out of country by the time america got there, what started the war was an american warship was torpedoed by the north viatnamese in the gulf of somethingorrather
@bigboy14100 Technically that was somewhat beforehand....the French tried to hold onto their colonies but seeing as they were too weak from WW2, they lost much of it. To reach a settlement Vietnam was divided into North and South like Korea was a couple decades earlier. The reason why there was a war was because the North Vietnamese believed that the country should be united....under a Communist banner. Which pretty much sent a red flag to us across the pacific.
@siant666 not to forget France was there before America was America stepped in to help the french cause they were getting there asses handed to them and as soon as America got there the french bailed
@alex3373 Thank you for your services to the greatest land on this earth i wanted to be a Marine so bad but due to personal issues i could not join i wanted to follow in my fathers footsteps and do my part for my country like he did in vietnam
@siant666 Yes I served from 66 to 69. In those days most had no choise to go or not. It was a very unpopular war. But in a combat cituation politics goes out the window and its all about staying alive and putting down the enemy before he does you. The american soldier stood toe to toe and fought hard. Just rember Pol Pot and the Killing fields. As in any dictatership extermination was the order of the day. Humanity should always stop it. China also supplied the Norths war effort as did Russia.
