Which is a big reason many people aren’t fans of it.
People who served there is an entirely different subject.

Well as history has shown the war escalation was based on a fraud pulled by LBJ. Sadly 58,220 made the ultimate sacrifice for a lie, good reason for people including me to dislike the war and distrust politicians.
Most Vietnam vets just slogged through jungles get involved in firefights with people who were protecting their homeland from invaders. They were thousands of miles from home fighting people who were no threat to America at all. What would a victory look like? There were at least 250,000 Viet soldiers killed and a couple of million civilians. Yet they kept fighting.
Wars are about money and resources. Defense contractors(they really call them that), made fortunes. The military expanded budgets and Generals got TV time. We just brought home wounded and mentally harmed soldiers to a country that had no systems to help them. The VA helped physical wounds, but many suffer from the unseen results of what war does to human beings.
America just keeps sending its youths to conflicts, politically designed conflicts.

Do you ever get anything right? The thread premise is moronic in that a leftist Vietnam war hater is now a HUGE fan of the war and believes that if you didn't get go to Vietnam, you are a coward and unworthy of the Office of the President.
That is the definition of mentally retarded.
You did win; the war was lost when Democrats were more intent on removing Nixon than honoring the treaty they agreed to.
American forces never lost a major battle in the war. The rules of engagement preventing US forces from crossing into North Vietnam were moronic. If China wanted to engage in a major war with the US, let it happen and get it over with.
The Chinese would have backed down just as they would have if we had started bombing them when the ILLEGALLY engaged in North Korea.
You fucking moron; if you are going to set a lame and stupid standard, it applies to EVERYONE. You leftist douchebags are dumber than a box of rocks.
We did win you ignorant douchebag. Had we stood by our agreement; millions of innocent lives would have been saved. But they were brown skinned and liberals don't give a shit.
Most of the most devastating wars in modern history occurred with Democrats at the helm. Pearl Harbor was the biggest failure of the Roosevelt Presidency yet idiots idolize him. He handed over Eastern Europe to the Communists.
Roosevelt began the massive welfare entitlement fraud which is the major contributor to our Federal deficits today.
It wasn't about a threat to America you brain dead douchebag. But hey, who cares about the millions who died under the Communist banner when we ran away, right?
Does it make your whiny douchebaggery okay? You think whining about Trump makes you look any less stupid or lame?
BS.
"...Gore did not arrive in Vietnam until the very end of 1970, by which time only seven months remained of his enlistment term. He couldn’t have served a full year’s tour of duty in Vietnam, because he had considerably less than a year’s service remaining of his two-year hitch when he arrived in that country...
...Gore was assigned a position as reporter covering the activities of the 20th Engineer Brigade in Bien Hoa, South Vietnam. Obviously, this was a non-combat position, and some of those who served with Gore reported that their superiors requested Gore “should cover only military operations where security was good.” However, they also reported that Gore had not asked for any such arrangement, nor was he aware of it."
