If your State decides to vote . . . . That is what you are effectively saying is OK.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

When we got into it, there were two countries, North VietNam, communist, South VietNam, democracy. North VietNam was trying to impose communism on South VietNam by force.

We belonged to SEATO, South East Asian Treaty Organization, similar to NATO. We had a treaty with South VietNam that obligated us to use military force to protect them from North VietNam, just as we would be obligated to use military force to protect Great Britain if attacked, just as Great Britain would be obligated to protect the US if attacked.

BTW, thank you, and NATO in general, for sending planes to patrol the US after 9/11. We are extremely grateful.
