Was it right or wrong for us to have went to war with Vietnam? Should we have stayed and not have pulled out? What do you think?

Back then we were really concerned about not letting commuism spread. If Vietnam was wrong then Korea would have to be wrong as well. I think the intenions in the beginning were good but they dragged it out too long wanting to keep the stupid American pride of "never losing a war". The media really hyped it up for being worse than it was (intention wise) like the War in Iraq of today. The government had no idea that the surronding countires would not fall to commuism and they underestimated North Vietnam's fighting tatics.

On the question of should we have been there in the first place?
Well it depends on how important stopping the spread of communism was to them. From our standpoint its obious that we shouldn't have gone in but from their standpoint, if stopping communism was that important then, yes we should have been there. We have a little weakness of not backing up our statements in blood though.
