The U.S. had commited armed forces to Viet Nam long before the Gulf of
Tonkin incident.

The truth instead of the BS you've been spoon fed. UN? sure it was. Just
like Desert Storm and Korea.

Excuse me? The Geneva Accords on Viet Nam were bull****? They were
drafted jointly by the U.S., Britain, China, the Soviet Union, France,
two different representatives from Vietnam (Viet Minh and
representatives of Bao Dai), Cambodia, and Laos.

SEATO was formed at the same time, including Australia, New Zealand,
Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand.


Apparently you have forgotten that Ho was trained by the Soviets and was
a dedicated communist revolutionary.


Apparently you never knew that Ho worked for us and was supplied by US
intellegence during WW2

Yep. But didja forget that the USSR was our ally during WW2? Anyway the
"work" that Uncle Ho did for the US, and the supplies he received, was
very marginal.


.. or that an independent Vietnam was established just
after WW 2

Actually, an independent Viet Nam was "established" (using the term
loosely) three of maybe even four times at the end of WW2. Everybody got
their chance, the Commies, the French, the Japs, and the UN as
represented by the British Army.

... or that when it was attacked by France Ho wrote letters to
Presidents Truman and Eisenhower begging us to come in

A bit of an overstatement, there. Ho wrote 1 letter to Truman asking for
recognition.



... Communist revolutionary? Only in
your dreams! Ho was a Vietnamese nationalist forced into the USSR's hands
when we turned on him.

Then how come he was attending the school for communist revolutionaries
in Moscow through most of the 1920s?

...Vietnamese government announced that the reunification election would NOT be
held on time - in fact that's what set them off. After that there was a war
going on as far as the north was concerned.

The North's goal was always to take over the south, preferably by armed
force since they would then be free to eliminate the pre-existing gov't
and take any repressive measures they wanted. General Giap has made this
clear in several public statements post 1974.

The fact is that throughout most of history, Viet Nam was actually
divided into two or three countries. The unified country that exists
today is an artificial construct.


Old saying: How do you make a fool uninformed? Take away his newspaper and
TV. How do you make him misinformed? Give them back. Obviously you got
yours back.

It appears that you have a good bit more learning to do. The "history"
that you think you know is a little bit of fact stirred up with a lot of
propaganda and wishful thinking.
