""Vietnam was a trifle. It was insignifigant by itself. But it was signifigant to show our European allies, and the Chinese and Russians, that America would sacrifice all, even risk tearing the country apart, to defend even the most insignifigant of its allies"

How can one person make up so much stuff in such a short period of time? Show the Europeans? This gem of yours is worth printing a hard copy"

Yes, ever heard of NATO? North Atlantic Treaty Organization? France and Britain, our allies and fellow Permanent Seats on the UN Security Council? Does ANY of this ring a bell? Are you even old enough to remember the Cold War?
