Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "And what happened? Cambodia fell, Laos fell, while Thailand fought for its life and survived only with massive US military aid."

To claim that our "massive US military aid" to Thailand was cheaper than the our war in Vietnam is to admit to being a lunatic. Cambodia and Laos had insurgencies years before we pulled out of Vietnam.

But the most important point is that the US became the world's only superpower despite parts of southeast Asia going communist. In other words, southeast Asia was not a critical domino that would result in Communism taking over the world.
