Great! The suits who invented the domino theory knew by the late 1960s
that it was nonsense, and that's what the entire war was based on. All
presidents are the target of various so-called scholars and shmexperts.
Many of us figured out early on that the North Vietnamese were not
going to burn their way through the south and invade Australia next. Do
you remember this nonsense?



Doug, you are chanting a typical shallow and simplistic post mortem of a
very complex set of circumstances, alliances, and political commitments
that took place over many years, mired also in corruption. In the end it
came down to justifying the continuance of policies that weren't working
or were no longer purposeful.
If you simply believe it was all based on the "domino" theory, then it was
you that was duped.

Like the other two personal wars, it was based on weak presidents who
succumbed to bad advice, thus demonstrating their complete inability to
manage and think for themselves.
