==Problems with this page==

==Is cite for rewrite still needed?==

- No mention that the US was against French actions in Indochina until it came through that they were being aided by the Chinese and Russians.

This page is cited for rewrite due to not giving  "the origin of the war, what it was fought about, and what the sides were", but all this is basically mentioned. I will remove it if no objections.[[User:Daniel1212|Daniel1212]] 19:26, 21 November 2009 (EST)

 

- 'North Vietnam was run by Ho Chi Minh as a Communist nation, while the South was run based on the Western model'. Not true. Diem's government was made up of his family and friends. This article omits the fact that most South Vietnamese supported the Vietcong due to the horrific government in the South.

 

- Nothing here about My Lai or any killings of innocent civilians by US raids and bombings.
