Yeah, exactly. The viet cong and NVA we're utterly sadistic and depraved. Just reading about the ways they would torment and torture not just enemies - but poor civilians - scars one for life. Complete and utter callousness toward human life -- all while the leaders of the communist party's children were kept safe. Should the US not have intervened to prop up RVN, disrupting millions of lives of young americans (and losing 50,000 of them), and killing hundreds of thousands (millions?) of others from carpet bombings, napalm, etc? No, and continuing escalation was criminal on the parts of Johnson, Nixon, and their henchmen. But somehow people need to take that into somehow supporting and idolizing the exact horrific, militant, violent, racist traits they claim they are against. At the end of the day, they just don't like the US (or use opposition to the US as a virtual signal) - it has nothing to do with opposing unethical things.
