i do think this war was pointless. it seems in the past, the u.s. had real reasons to go to war and this was the start of the pointless fighting.
who cares if we eventually killed more of their people? that doesn't make it okay. think about all of our people who died. was it worth it? no. ask most people walking down the street what the vietnam war was about. they won't know. that should show right there that it wasn't worth it. with all of those lives lost, if it was for a cause that really mattered, everyone one know. the number of people who died on the other side isn't the issue at hand.

Neither is if it was okay or not. You can't deny, there was a point.

well it is a fact that there is some sort of point behind everything that happens ever on earth. but, the way i'm looking at the question is more like "was it worth it?" i say no. not even close.

I despise the Vietnam war because so many people got hurt in the process, American Soliders, their families, and innocent South Vietnamese that got killed/maimed/emotionally scarred (Mylai Massacre). I'm sorry for the soldiers who were forced to go to war and support a cause that they didn't believe in. It's sad that everyone always wants to make America seem like they're this huge world police that wants to regulate everything. But it's truely a double edged sword. These countries ask for our help and if we don't do anything, we're selfish, and if we do something it's "there goes those damed Americans always trying to control everything".

In WW1 we were fighting the Axis powers the "bad guys" in WW2 we were fighing Hitler and Mussolini who were horrible dictators who killed their own people. But with Vietnam, we were only fighting because our government signed a piece of paper.

I don't think that *all* wars are bad, I just think that a lot of the wars we were involved in post-WWII were retarded (Korea, Vietnam)
