We inserted a series of governments whose sole qualification was that they were acceptable to us. Not surprisingly, none of them could govern the country or fight the war. Did our attempt to sustain governments that could not sustain themselves serve the interests of either country?

This is something that can be argued at some length, and in order to make any sense of it at all the discussion has to start way before the US sent a soldier to Vietnam. I don't think anybody here wants to deal with that. I almost hope they don't, since I really haven't got time to make the case coherently.
