  Please don’t use the “US is evil” argument to justify not knowing history.

    I am not using that justification and I am well aware of the history of the US involvement in the Vietnam war.

    The war transcended five presidential administration and everyone of them inherited the shit show from the last.

      The basic flaw of you thinking is that there was ever a “reason” the US entered that war.

      There wasn’t one. There was just lots of justifications for why te US had to stay in it.
