The real issue is that the progressive left was correct in regards to Vietnam.

You continually show your ignorance.
"Progressive" was a bullshit label that was devised so that socialistic wimps, like you, could sound more "intelligent" and "advanced" in their political thinking, because "socialism" was often confused with "communism" and that gave them a bad name, even though that's what they were!
One just left office after 8 years! A socialist! And one almost got the nomination if it had not been for the dirty tricks of your candidate, HillaryNoMore!
What was wrong with "the Korean War" was the same as was wrong with S.E. Asia. Those were not fought to win, but wimps like you sitting back in elected positions decided they new "better" about how to fight a war than the warriors who were tasked for the job!
Then Walter Cronkite came along and started the propaganda war.
If the "Korean War" and S.E. Asia had been fought like a military confrontation to win some of the bullshit this country has to face today wouldn't exist ... just like had Bush I finished the War against Iraq it would have not been necessary for Clinton or Bush II to deal with Iraq's bullshit.....just like if Obaminable had taken ISIS seriously from the beginning Trump wouldn't have to deal with them today ... and 100's of 1000's of innocent men, women, and children would be alive today and living in their homes ... instead of being slaughtered and living in refugee camps.
