It depends on who "we" refers to and how a person defines the "right" side.

According to the current Vietnamese government, the United States fought on the wrong side of the Vietnam War. The Vietnamese government claims that South Vietnam was really a puppet state of the United States in its intent to colonize all of Vietnam and the North Vietnamese were helping the South achieve freedom, liberation, and unification. The United States narrative is that it was protecting the South Vietnamese people against North Vietnamese aggression, violent conquest, and the spread of communism, similar to how they had defended South Korea and Taiwan previously.
