While fighting communism in Vietnam may have been a good thing, The United States was also supporting an criminally corrupt regime in South Vietnam whic denyed the people of south Vietnam much of their human rights and freedoms for which the United States claimed to be fighting to give them. It is a sad irony that the Vietnamese people actually had more freedom under the communist government than they did under the American backed South Vietnamese government.
