Thats right the french colonized them before america
you really should educate yourself before you just spout off verbiage from the communist manifesto.
french did try to colonize the country and were defeated. the US never tried to colonize vietnam.
vietnam was split into north and south in 1954.
the US suported the south to stop the spread of your people the communist.
when they went in they did so legally to support south vietnam and to help protect them. the last time i checked helping a friend against northern aggression is not immoral.
the help was initially to train their troops to form effective armies that could defend themselves against communist aggression from the north.
the south vietnam armies were woefully inadequate at fighting and often corrupted from within by the north vietnamese.
