Your Questions Why did we fight?/Why did we think this was a good idea? What is communism? Did we have a backup plan to stop communism? Was support high in the beginning? Why didn’t they weight the options more?

Your Questions Is it what the President wanted? And how did he respond to advisors? How long did it last? Why did it last so long? Why didn’t we pull out sooner if we knew we couldn’t win? Why did we keep so much of it a secret?

Your Questions What would’ve happened if we pulled out? Were all North Vietnamese Communist? Did the Vietnamese have a draft also? Why didn’t we try harder to protect civilians? How long did it take Vietnam to recover?
