Yes, but like I said, we withdrew too early because of political pressure within our country from people like you. The war supporters wanted to continue. However, we did win the overall war, which was the Cold War. We stopped Soviet conquest. I explained that earlier.

But we were supporting the regime of a vicious tyrant.

No, we were fighting against North Vietnam. They took over South Vietnam.

But the South Vietnamese dictator was worse than the North.

Yea, everyone seem's to ignore that we were protecting one dictatorship from another, yet to the world we were:

"Protecting Democracy and stopping Communism"

Sorta like how were "Spreading Democracy" today with 1,000 pound bombs and napalm and bullets...I never knew you can bring democracy by killing everything.

Ngo Dinh Diem and his brothers that made up his cabinet modeled their marching style and torture style after Adolf Hitler. They were great admirers of nazi rulership and in fact incorporated many aspects of Hitler's style of rule with the rulership of South Vietnam, or "free Viietnam."

All I'm saying is its no wonder most of the country went communist, people usually only do when they're being oppressed by their current ruler. No wonder they were willing to die by the millions to revolutionize Vietnam. They were the ones fighting for freedom in this case. The United States was on the wrong side. It has nothing to do with Communist or Capitalist, it has to do with fighting for a better life, and that's what the Charlies were doing, even though their replacement was not so much better.
