The Vietnam war is still riddled with absurd degrees of propaganda (the wikipedia article is a farce) so it's hard to find accurate information, suffice to say the Russians and Chinese supplied the Vietcong with weapons similar to what the US did for Afghanistan back when the Russians invaded there.

The main thing I suppose is that the Americans are notoriously bad at war, they've only ever had success in civil war but otherwise incur disastrous losses for the enemy they fight and generally commit some of the most extreme humanitarian atrocities.

USA's main objectives:


- Restore a free capitalist society to the integral territory of Vietnam.
- Stop the spread of communism to southeastern asian countries.

Secondary objectives:

- Secure approval from capitalist Vietnam

- Secure local support


Vietcong's main objectives:


- Stop the intervention from USA.

- Unify Vietnam as a communist state.

Secondary objective:


- Get Soviet help

- Spread Communism
Result:

.North Vietnamese victory
.Withdrawal of American-led forces from Indochina
.Communist governments take power in South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia
.South Vietnam is annexed by North Vietnam

Vietcong objectives: All complete.
USA's objectives: All failed.

If so, I'll just point out that 90% of North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces will killed by the South Vietnamese.

This is true. In the Vietnam War the US lost more choppers to friendly fire and crashing at each other than gunned down by the vcs.

Well yes, also matters like America having no veteran staff for WW2 and being at least two decades behind in tech, drafting kids and barely training them beyond "this is a gun, point it and shoot, do what that dude tells you"

The problems this created cascaded into more modern conflicts where the "veterans" of WW2 lived through some of the messiest warfare in terms of logistics and coordination, and didn't get much of a chance to learn from it, as America was all too eager to repeat their mistakes (fighting a war on foreign soil completely out of their expertise)

The fact that they endured that shit for as long as they did is actually much more of an accomplishment than any other country in WW2 can claim (beside Germany, who went on a god damn tear)

The people who consider Vietnam an overall loss for the US are incapable of seeing the bigger picture. Yes, the US lost the battle that was Vietnam, but it helped achieve the greater goal: weakening the spread of communism.

>but Anon! Vietnam fell to communism and so did the surrounding areas!

Yes, that is true, but once again, we're talking large picture here. The US was stopping communism on a large scale by forcing the major communist countries to spend a vast amount of resources solidifying their position there. To put it frankly, the US was outspending communism to death. Wanna see if Vietnam was a win or loss for the US? Look at the outcome of the cold war, and see just which economic style is dominant over the world.

Roosevelt did his best to get USA into the war with Germany, against the wishes of his people.

Eventually Hitler had to declare war.

France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, not because of Poland (they didn't give two shits about them in the end, and Poland deserved it anyway) but because they wanted to benefit at Germany's expense.

Russia invested into aid to vietnam, but more importantly, they became invested in the surrounding areas to supposedly capitalize on the US "defeat"

I'm not saying that the US planned to lose, a battlefield "win" would have sped the process up, but communism needs large amounts of excess wealth to thrive, and we forced Russia to spend a ton of capital like we did using proxys to fight the cold war

During the war yes, you are correct. But after the war, due to their military relationship, the Soviet Union became Vietnam's main benefactor during the 1980s. They became yet another resource suck that the Russians couldn't keep up with.

This, along with Russia's other expansions around the world, collapsed the Soviet Union because the US could just out fucking spend them.

it really sucks how the north vietnamese/vietcong are protrayed as the bad guys when they just wanted to fight against colonialism and free their nation.

the war in vietnam was a mistake, we were the bad guys. in most conflicts the "bad guys" are usually the side were not supposed to like (vietcong, ba'athists in iraq, assads syria, north vietnamese to some extent before their kim dynasty, palestinians) any side fighting off foreign invaders is almost always the good guys and their fight will always prosper.

Operation Wandering Soul was a propaganda campaign exercised by U.S. Forces during the Vietnam War.

The operation played off the belief of many Vietnamese in the "wandering soul":

"It is the Vietnamese belief that the dead must be buried in their homeland, or their soul will wander aimlessly in pain and suffering. Vietnamese feel that if a person is improperly buried, then their soul wanders constantly. They can sometimes be contacted on the anniversary of their death and near where they died. Vietnamese honor these dead souls on a holiday when they return to the site where they died."[1]

U.S. engineers spent weeks recording eerie sounds and altered voices - which pretended to be killed Vietcong - for use in the operation, with the intended purpose of instilling a sense of turmoil within the enemy. The desired result being for the soldier to flee his position. Helicopters were sometimes employed to broadcast recordings,[2] in which the voices called on their "descendants" in the Vietcong to defect and cease fighting.
