From the United States government point of view, there is one serious mistake that shifted sentiments about the Vietnam War. That was the Tet Offensive in 1968, which shocked most of the country because it wasn't believed that communist forces in Vietnam were capable of such a sustained attack.
What the war in Vietnam was... it was a SHAME. Our troops were involved in a conflict that is no different than the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq. The brave young men and women fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq are seen as heroes; the brave young men and women who fought in Vietnam were seen as trash, killers, and every other imaginable degrading name. The main difference between these conflicts... the American news media. Please, when you meet a Vietnam Vet, take the time to thank them for their service and tell them how sad America should be that these brave soldiers were treated the way they were.

The U.S. participated in the Vietnam War. We were allies with the South Vietnamese. Vietnam won their independece from France and then they split into North and South. We helped and aided the South Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. If the young are finally given the correct history on the Vietnam War (I'd rather place my bet on a Vietnam War Vet speaking to the kids than any books could tell) then that's magic, because the U.S. government not only lost that war, but they under-estimated their enemy. For the first time in American History many American citizens were torn over this war and didn't give the Vietnam Vets who made it home the honor they deserved. The U.S. Government gave little aid to the Vets and many of them had psychological problems (trauma) and also drug addiction. The U.S. government tried to hide the embarrassment of this war and took it out on the very men who served their country. If anything should be learned about this war all countries shouldn't be quite so hasty to go into war before learning more and getting to know their real enemy. War simply makes money! Some wars have to be fought, but the Vietnam War was a mistake and isn't that a lovely label to put on the Vietnam Vets. If you really want to learn about the Vietnam War go on websites and talk to Vietnam Vets!
Americas involvement in the Iraq war is a monumental mistake.
The Vietnam War was a hideous mistake.
If you could ask him today, he'd probably tell you it was that he increased U.S. involvement in Vietnam from 16,000 U.S. troops to 550,000, and still never even started winning the war, despite our ability to win it. This is, anyway, the only mistake he actually admitted to on TV.

Native Americans were not from India. They are native to America, hence the name. The term Indians is a historical mistake due to Colombus thinking he was in India when he arrived in the Americas. The term has stuck, though everyone knows the Americas are not India.
"Skirt culpability" refers to the act of avoiding responsibility or blame for a mistake or wrongdoing. It involves attempting to deflect or minimize one's involvement or guilt in a situation.
The definition of a civil war is a nation fighting amongst itself, so this was true in Vietnam. However, the Soviets & Red Chinese were supplying one of the combatants...the Northern half of the warring parties. It was only FAIR that the US should supply the SOUTHERN half. There was no mistake in trying to help out a country that asked for help.
We stopped em (communists) in Korea, we'd stop em again in Vietnam. However, we didn't repeat one mistake...we did NOT invade North Vietnam as we DID invade North Korea during the Korean War. That action (in Korea) brought Red China into the war. We bombed North Vietnam, but did not invade it.
Originally Amerigo Vespucci discovered America, but the most popular was the mistake Christopher Columbus made that discovered America for the Europeans for the 2nd time.
