> It's pretty rich seeing the North call out the US and South foe those tactics - truly the pot calling the kettle black. Let me correct you: it's not "the North". It's called Vietnam and the US waged a war against it (mostly against South Vietnam). Also, it's the world -- we -- who is appalled at the way the US behaved in Vietnam, including its assassination campaigns, Agent Orange, Napalm, mass murder, etc. As for what may have happened, unlike you I'm not a mind reader to know what was false or faked. I do know if the US hadn't waged war on Vietnam, things would have been way better, if only because many thousands more Vietnamese would have lived, the country wouldn't have been destroyed and who knows, an unscathed Vietnam might have turned way more sympathetic to the West.
