Vietname was a a needed war due to the cold war. The Northern Vietnameeze invaded Soth Vietam. They couldnot fight for themselves. President Truman vowed to use force to prevent any more coutnries from becoming Commnist. So President Johnson did the right thing. Some people thought we lost it. We didn't really. We were scared. You see, China, if we would had used full force, may have enterd against us and we may have started World War III. We just wanted to get the Northen Vietnameeze out of Vietnam. We could have Crushed them in like, a day. China was Communist then and is now, kinda. But hippie Liberals spat on the troops returining home, calling them baby killers. They were heros. And it was nescessary. It acomplished nothing, but it had to happen. Nixon pulled us out because too many people were dying and we couldn't win with the limited forces we could limitedly send in.
