Perhaps half a million Americans assigned to the job of killing millions of Vietnamese

Not a single American was "assigned to the job of killing millions of Vietnamese". Nor where the half a million (at a time at the peak, more overall) collectivly assigned any such job.

there is now a country called Vietnam in which the people of Vietnam now go about their daily lives and where they will determine their own future -- they will not turn to us and ask us to send in our troops to impose our vision of how Vietnam should be run.

There used to be a country called South Vietnam, which turned to the US to assist in the effort to keep the troops of the North from imposing their vision of how Vietnam should be run.
