PragerU should be FUCKING ashamed of themselves for making this propaganda garbage! They essentially tried to portray the Vietnam War as being a noble endeavor and blamed the left for our defeat, but those fuckers conveniently left out the fact that after Vietnam got its independence from France they were going to hold a democratic election but the corrupt Ngo Dinh Diem rigged the election in his favor, was responsible for the civil war in Vietnam, and gave himself absolute power over South Vietnam. They also make the claim that part of the reason why we lost Vietnam but won Korea was because the US was “far less conservative” than we were in the 50s…that’s also bullshit. No, what happened was that journalists were doing their fucking job by showing the ugly truth as opposed to covering it up. They left out other important details but if I were to list them all this post would be much longer.
I’m not shitting on the Vietnam War, but I’m calling out PragerU for making that steaming pile of shit. The Vietnam War was a complicated and tragic war, and the fact that those assholes used it to make a cheap shot at the left is just disgusting
