8. Two more things

1. Most of the fighting in Vietnam was done by draftees.

2. From The Pentagon Papers, which I highly recommend if you
have trouble falling asleep, there are requests from
Ho-Chi-Minh to Truman for American help in his fight against
the French.  After the French defeat, Eisenhower steered clear
of SE Asia for eight years, despite much advice to the
contrary.  Kennedy was actually the mover behind American
involvement in Vietnam.
