I don't see it. Vietnam was not invading the US. Rather, they were trying to eliminate a long, ugly history of French colonialism. Ho Chi Minh at first actually thought the US would favor his movement, given the US's own history with British colonialism. A couple million people's deaths were caused by the US war in Vietnam and Cambodia. I don't see how I could argue in favor of that. Had it won, it's not clear that the US would have somehow turned the Vietnamese economy into the South Korean economy. That would have been mostly up to the people of Vietnam. I mean, in another light, consider the fact that the US cannot even turn its own economy into the South Korean economy.
