    Vietnam was a proxy war between the US and the Soviet Union, and the North/South Vietnamese were just the toy soldiers they moved around on the playing board. Neither the North or the South were “good guys” or “bad guys,” they were a poor country being exploited by Imperialists from thousands of miles away.

    Vietnam wasn’t good or bad, they were the victim. America, The Soviet Union, and France were the Bad Guys.
