This definitely did not scar a generation of American kids, in order to murder a generation of Vietnamese, all over a failed attempt to prop up an unpopular military junta in South Vietnam which failed anyway. No sir. It did… something positive. We swear.
A key military strategy of the Vietnam War was the use of strategic
