What was the first Indochina Conflict? GodlessLiberal 15:06, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
- That was the war between the French and the Viet Cong that took place in the late 1940s - early 1950s, prior to our involvement.--Conservateur 18:22, 30 April 2007 (EDT)
Unless strong documentation can be provided, I have to support Hojimachong's decision to remove what appears to be odd claims of an imminent North Vietnamese surrender at the time we pulled out. Learn together 15:38, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
This article is woefully inadequate
A lot of work needs to be done on this topic. There's a great deal of information left out. Also, the U.S. did not lose this war. When the U.S. pulled out S. Vietnam was safe and secure. The VietCong was destroyed and the borders were agreed to by the Paris Peace Accords. It was only after the U.S. was completely out of the region that the North Vietnamese attacked. It was 2 years after the U.S. pulled out that North Vietnam invaded. However, because of communist infiltration of the U.S. govt. and Congressional efforts to squash S. Vietnam and the violation of the SEATO treaty to render air support to the S. Vietnamese, the North felt this was the opportune moment to invade. All this is left out from the article.

- Yes, I beleive that outline of telling events is very good. How's this, "Vietnam was lost in a spasm of Congressional irresponsibiltiy after Congress cut off aid to the South Vietnam govt and the hard won peace negotuiations by Henry Kissinger". RobS 22:52, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
About the only thing the Vietname War article does not discuss... is the Vietnam War. But at least we have a list of really hip songs from that era ;-) Learn together 16:17, 23 May 2007 (EDT)
- Yeah, it's not ready to be displayed. I'm going to demote it to a /draft. --Ed Poor 16:23, 23 May 2007 (EDT)
