Line 25:
Line 25: − − ==Number of Vietnamese Who Supported Communism== − − I've read several times that two thirds of the Vietnamese population (both north and south) supported the communist government, and that there were meant to be elections but these were refused. Does anyone else know anything about that, and should it be included in the article? Line 34:

Whose opinion is that? It doesn't ring true. I was in the army for 5 years (two decades after this war, though). I heard a lot of other reasons. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 21:08, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

:It was the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time.

:While the hippies rioted in the streets, and while the US (as the article states) was approaching 600,000 men in Vietnam, to contain Soviet expansion, and for the right of self-determination of peoples, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. It was pretty obvious at that point, the whole thing was a fraud. That yes, the evil Nazi regime was evil and needed to be destroyed ''because'' it invaded Czechoslovakia. But when the godless commies did it 30 years later, what did NATO & the US do? Nothing. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 21:44, 9 August 2007 (EDT)
