i found some facts said here to be outright BS that pisses me off and some that I cant help but agree on.

the only thing i remember in terms of spending time in the deep south jungles of vietnam.

most people agreed that the people/soldiers that actually fought FOR the americans side were the ones who believed that doing so would end up in "huge wealth".

and also the majority of american supporters were mostly home/land owners that lived AROUND main streets/highways (keep in mind most of south vietnam WAS and still today full of jungle and ghetto ass streets/highways) but majority was still preety poor and undeveloped)

most people believed the americans were preety much coming in vietnam to try and take their land away... so in sense they all believed they were fighting to "unite and form one vietnam.. and also keep the intruders away from their homeland

keep in mind this is what i learnt while i was on vacation in the south

Which facts are BS?

I know many people believe the VietCong were all soldiers from the north but the vast majority were all from the South. Some of the things the Americans did were outright acts of terrorism. But they said it was war so I guess it makes everything alright, just like how terrorists declare Jihad agaisnt the Americans and call it acts of war.
