Yep we really should've told the French to pound sand.

Sure but none of that changes what happened. Fact is we did leave on favorable terms. Then two years later the NVA invaded again. Diem's being a shit person and leader has no bearing on that. That being said we really didn't need to try and clean up French incompetence. We didn't learn anything...

We did that in Vietnam then the NVA invaded 2 years after the fact. That's usually left out context though.

Perhaps a mix of the two honestly it's hard to know. As even officer's journal's aren't overly trustworthy. Since people absolutely lie to themselves to justify things. Can't say I feel bad for the nukes though.

Personally I believe they realized they had to catch up to the west or be irrelvant. So they went all by any means necessary.
