Was it moral for the United States to kill millions of Vietnamese in the Vietnam war?

You are right, and look at all the saps trying to beat you up as being un-American and not "supporting our troops." The day will come when it is no longer normal to value the life of a stranger from your own country over a stranger from another country. Patriotism is a social disease and is the cause of all wars to begin with.

You can't make the foreigner into the enemy until you make the compatriot stranger into a sacred friend. As for Vietnam, it took the lives of nearly 60 thousand US soldiers and over 3 million Vietnamese. America invaded to protect Vietnam from the Vietnamese, as it was clear their nationalist leader Ho was going to win the UN-sponsored elections, so the US invaded and canceled them.

Like Iraq, it was justified by a lot of rhetorical nonsense, "stopping the dominoes from falling," exporting democracy, etc. If McCain wanted to be a part of that, that's his past to deal with, but there is nothing heroic about it. That the US still considers it a war to name heroes ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
