@pbsnews: Vietnam on Wednesday marked the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the unification of the country under Communist rule after decades of war. From the ashes, the U.S. and Vietnam now enjoy close relations, due in no small part to American veterans who sought to revive a country they once helped destroy.

Honestly if it wasn’t for the French and the fact they were communist, we could’ve been good allies. Their leader liked us more. But we wanted the rubber plantations more and the Cold War ideology.

Gotta love Propaganda because the US actually Won the war & after winning the US left but 2 years after the US left the war restarted & the South fell. The US wasn't even there.

What I genuinely wonder is how does the south view this and how is the south themselves ? The south was in the side of the Americans so do people in south Vietnam consider themselves the winner despite being on the American side ?
