Nixon is on record saying that he would have continued the war after the north overran the south. We should have went back in.
Please provide evidence that the Maddox incident never really happened, or give the U.S. government the benefit of the doubt.

Hi! I come from Vietnam. Do you know why when our country was united, domino theory did not happen? Because we only fight for our independence, our goal is to own the country, not to interfere with any foreign powers. that is our goal, and the domino theory that the United States speaks about, is just their own point of view, we just want peace and unity, the Americans who are present in Vietnam unknowingly become a hindrance It is natural that our country must be united. I don't like the way Americans say Saigon lost to the north. Why is it lost? it is a part of our country, which is the most wrong thing in the American perspective
I wouldn't say America lost the Veitnam War. Because, When US Troops arrived. We where there to defend South Vietnam, from the North.
When US Troops left in 1974 (or so), we alright sinced a peace deal with the North. So when the North invaded the South again. We where not a part of the War.
So Vietnam for me, is like the Winter War for the Soviet Union. A hollow Victory. Yes, America won. But at a price.
Once apron a time, I would have criticized anyone who made fun of America's investment in Vietnam.
Now days I since came to terms with the Vietnam War, and the Outcome of it. Now I respect those who went too Vietnam, and fought in, and through the living hell of the War. I even respect those who went to Veitnam, and come back to protest the War. (At lest they fought alongside those who would stay.)
Vietnam ruined LBJ's presidency and it literally killed him as he died just 4 years after he left the White House.
Presidents now say, "I'll listen to the advice of generals on the ground" because Johnson and to a lesser extent Nixon micromanaged how the war was fought from Washington, DC, instead of allowing the generals to fight the war in Vietnam.
No no lol.
You spelled the vietnamese names correctly.
C'était pas mieux avant pour le coup.
It was The Cold War between America with her allies and Soviet Union with her allies led to The Hot War between South Vietnam and North Vietnam. American politicians believed in the domino theory which predicted that if Vietnam falls to communism, then the rest of South East Asian countries will fall to communism. America's involvement in Vietnam is to stop the spread of communism into South East Asia. Finally, America withdrew out of South Vietnam and South Vietnam, in the end of the war, gave up fighting to stop the Viet Cong army (Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam that American army with South Vietnamese Republic army failed to destroy completely) and North Vietnam. South Vietnam fell to communism. Some of the rest of South East Asian countries did not fall to communism. Vietnam was the battlefront. America was the homefront where college students carrying the flag of North Vietnam protested against the Vietnam War. The domino theory prediction was politically incorrect.
Typical history spin. Just like we look over the fact that the indigeonous populations of the Caribbean, south American and north America were wiped out by the Europeans. We do not see Vietnam as a war that was forced on America by our own government with lies and assassination. The military pushed their agenda and to hell with Democracy. Unfortunatly our duopoly did not work in the 60's and it is not working now. Please vote all independents!!
Put these presidents and the higher up politicians out there on a battlefield to let them see how horrible a war could be. Use Donald trump as the first experiment. War is only chess for them when they're dressed in suits behind their desktop. Put them out on a battlefield before letting them decide on whether or not to go to war.
There were many events leading up to the My Lai massacre, and this video fails to mention them. The brutal tactics used by the Viet Cong in the Tet Offensive certainly contributed to the My Lai Massacre. Plus, it was later revealed that the massacre was not the action of troops-out-of-control, but an agenda from much higher up.
TT Ngo D Diem never wanted to destroy his own Vietnamese people. only the Viet Cong. OK
this guy did not know the history of Vietnam. he gave seriously wrong about TT Ngo Dinh Diem.
don't believe him.
Some say that the event of the USS Maddox is just a lie in order for the Americans to officially attack Vietnam
highly recommend 'The Vietnam War 2017' documentary as a starting point….you really need hours of documentary to explain this very interesting and long conflict
Seeing how Vietnam is capitalist today could you say the US actually won in the end? Say 30 years after WWII Europe and the US became Nazis even though the Nazis lost the war in the past. I AM NOT SAYING the US/capitalism is a 'like for like' to Nazism! This is just a thought experiment.
I'm Vietnamese but I don't get offended when people mispronounce Viet words. It's not that much of a big deal.
Vietnam, there was no goal, so no way to win! Just the military industrial complex hard at work making the world a terrible place!!
I'm a Vietnamese but I barely know a single thing about my country and I forgot most of the Vietnamese vocabulary
Thank you for your help in understanding this time.
