What he says here is pretty reasonable. He only sided with the soviets because the united states at the time supported France's right to imperialism despite it leading to millions of Vietnamese being killed by the Japanese in world War two
They never teach you the other side in history class and they certainly never aired out his grievances when the decision was made to spend millions and send thousands of men to their deaths
The golden triangle was a reason, making billions off weapons was an even bigger reason, and proving to the American people that they can send white men to die at any time and for any reason was the biggest reason
Hey, tell them who initially created the Viet Cong.
My father ('Nam Vet) was furious during the two most recent desert wars, saying that history is repeating itself- just in the desert, this time. We even got an almost perfect recreation of the infamous US Embassy evacuation photo.
The USA gets it hands into everything. We fund rebellions and train fighters. And then, we eventually declare war on those people and fight them. So far, our record of fighting the people we've trained is USA: 0, CIA-trained guerilla fighters: 6+
I remember learning that when I was a kid watching Apocalypse Now, when the boat crew meets the French ghosts. One of the French officers tells Captain Willard about who created the Viet Cong- the CIA. I couldn't believe it, I went to my encyclopedia and read for hours... and there it was.
The USA funded guerilla attacks against the French in Vietnam. Then, Dien Bien Phu happened, and finally we started sending our young me to die in those god forsaken rice paddies.
