Cold War means no fighting. No shooting. No one dies. Hot Wars are a series of battles. Seldom is one battle a war. The Vietnam War was the second "Hot" battle of the cold war. Korea was the first.

  1. Americans were trying to overthrow communism in Vietnam.
  2. Americans kept communism from spreading to the world.
  3. Americans surrendered them to their own devices.

Vietnamese are now tired of communism because they have to share and remain equal, not grow and capitalize on their successes like America fought for and tried to free them.
