[quote=GRIZ326,258077]It has been a long time since I read the history of US involvement in Vietnam, but I do not believe the French quit (well......) or that the US wanted to take over the colonial presence. The French surrendered to Germany so French IndoChina was up for grabs and the Japanese got involved. The French managed to maintain some control through the Japanese. We started providing aid to the French to fight Ho Chi Minh in 1950. ...but the French are lovers not fighters and the communists were winning despite our assistance. So I guess the old line that "the US got involved to stop the spread of communism" is about as good an explanation of the US motivation to become involved in Vietnam as a guy can get. The history is mess of very convoluted pieces of information.[/quote]
