Including me. The problem is that no-one has ever talked about the strategic reasons why we might have preferred that Indochina didn't become controlled by essentially hostile other countries. Had we won the Indochina war, there might very well have been SIX MILLION FEWER D FEWER DEATHS in Cambodia, and Thailand, a peaceful country itself, would not be fighting a prepetual border war against people FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY ATTEMPTING CONQUEST BY FORCE. The chance to prevent this is in itself sufficient moral justification for the war.
