but from my understanding the South Vietnam govt were the good guys
That’s and understanding you need to amend. Especially the whole good guys/bad guys which is an incredibly American way to look at history, and basically makes it impossible for any nuance. However the South Vietnemese government was a murderous dictatorship propped up entirely by foreign powers.
Im intensely autistic and something else too, so my use of terminology can be… different. I am fully capable of deeming groups as “bad” or “good” and still see a large degree of nuance. In some cases objectively bad people and groups can in fact be the “good”(or at least better) option. If you want, id enjoy discussing my ideas on morality and meta-ethics, but thats way beyond the scope of what I was trying to discuss. To better clarify, my definition of good and bad here can basically be disregarded. I hope this didnt come off as snarky or self aggrandizing or anything, im just an oddball.
As for your last statement, yeah thats the way it seems. Im going to go do my own research as i never take an anonymous forum at face value, but it does match with what I was somewhat suspecting given US retrohistory.
