Why would we worry about Vietnam when we just had Afghanistan and Iraq? We have a Vietnamese community that was made for refugees in New Orleans East. Some of the stories from the ARVN are horrifying. Ironically a lot of the Vietnamese that moved here can't have kids because of STDs from Vietnamese prostitutes too...
Seriously though, unless it's a period of history you're interested in we always have a new proxy war. Vietnam replaced Korea, War on drugs, just cause, desert storm, iraq, afghanistan, now ukraine.
Since the end of WWII and beginning of Korea our economy changed in such a way that if our forever war ends social, political, and economic sectors will be rocked by defense contractors alone.

I've looked carefully at the history of the Vietnam war. It is not from propaganda, that I have concluded that like with Afghanistan we did not belong there. We fought the war in Vietnam to contain communism. But we did not.
They're been told it never happened and is fake news. It's been white washed from history.
