You came to the help of the French in Indochine? That is the most absurd and most distorted explanation for the American Vietnam war I have ever heared.
As a matter of fact the French unerestimated the capability of the Vietnamese, got shreddered, and when trying to let America know of their experiences and how to not make their mistakes, Washington did not want to listen to their hard-learned lessons.
You came after the French, yes. But not to help them. Leave it to saying that you just went there, for some idiotic reason and after staging an incident.
There are only wars of needs and wars of choice and desire. Vietnam was one of the latter, like most of America's wars since WWII.
Desert Storm also could be debated, considering how Wshington allowed it to end and how the American ambassador send mixed signals to Saddam before he went into Kuwait, and that Saddam was Washington's pet they still continued to allow a long line after Desert Storm, when he cracked down on the Shia that trusted in Washington'S promise to assist them. As we know by now, that trust was a very bad mistake.
