Is true that, probably in the '40s, a US medical team parachuted in to Viet-Nam to treat an ailing Ho Chi Minh?
My position has always been that it was a civil war, after the French were kicked out, in which no outsider had any business.
I don't remember when the following came to my attention but it was probably during the Kennedy Administration:
"… I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held as of the time of the fighting, possibly 80 per cent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh …" — Dwight D. Eisenhower
I was, and am still, appalled by the Hitlerist (was he named Nu?) who murdered his predecessor to take power in Saigon was supported by the USA.
I was too young to be killed in Korea and too old to die in Viet-Nam.
