About 5,000 Ryan Firebee UAV missions were flown over enemy territory (North Vietnam) during the war.

At the end of the Vietnam War, Congress refused to support South Vietnam any longer.
To put an end to the communist threat that was uprising in Vietnam, which was started by Ho-Chi-Mihn. Also to support the democratic South vietnam.
The United States Government truly did not support the troops it sent to VietNam. They never allowed the military to bomb the ports in the North where the weapons were flowing in from Russia. Our own government had NO idea of what we were doing there and why they sent us there.
The south, because that part of Vietnam was non-communist
a member of the army of the republic of Vietnam
The Drones was created in 2000.
China, Russia, and later Cuba.
That is what was said for the reason to go to VN. However, that is truly NOT the reason we went there. We went there because President Kennedy's successor as President was an ignorant poor soul who lied to the American people. Recall that on the 1963 campaign trail he stated : "I will never send American Boys 10,000 miles away to fight a war that Asian Boys should fight for themselves". LBJ was a complete Liar: A terrible Man in so many ways. He was a useless Commander in Chief who had no idea how to fight the VN War to win, and win quickly with the fewest casualties.
