I know the history of the
Shit show of what was Vietnam but I’ve never considered what would have happened had the u.s stayed out. Any more info on that?
South Vietnam is overrun shortly after the coup of Ngo Dinh Diem, Ho Chi Minh potentially isn’t sidelined by hardliners in the North Vietnamese government, Vietnam becomes Communist but with much less bloodshed and, potentially, a less authoritarian and dogmatic regime.

Vietnam woulda gone to war if we hadn’t intervened to prop them up and end the war.
It woulda been more war.
Just … probably shorter and less napalmy.
But all those Vietnam inspired rock songs we would have never gotten!
I mean, on the one hand no piece of art is worth hundreds of thousands of human lives, but on the other, Fortunate Son… 🤷
AND the underrepresented hidden gem video games we got but wish we could get again.
A modern battlefield Vietnam? Yes please.
