Did We Just Win the Vietnam War?

Half a century after America’s withdrawal, Vietnam has quietly vindicated U.S. sacrifice—abandoning Marxism for nationalism and embracing the very ideals America once defended.

By Stephen B. Young and Bradley A. Thayer
November 1, 2025


Over 50 years since America’s withdrawal from the Vietnam War, history has legitimized and vindicated its sacrifice in the Vietnam War.

While few Americans have noticed, Vietnam’s new General Secretary of the Communist Party, To Lam, has replaced Marxist-Leninism as the Party’s governing ideology with something more authentically Vietnamese: Truong Ton Dan Toc, or “Vietnamese nationalism.”

That is a bombshell. Hanoi has just abandoned its Communist ideology, which governed it since 1954 and sustained it in its wars against the United States and its ally South Vietnam, and with its Communist neighbors, Cambodia and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Marxist-Leninism came to the Vietnamese from France. Thus, Communist Vietnam was actually a neocolonial state, its ideology imported from Europe to rule the Vietnamese, first in the North and, after 1975, the entire country. Now freed from the yoke of Communism, the Vietnamese have returned to the nationalism that was theirs all along.

   I'm really surprised Trump hasn't taken credit for this yet, especially since he just signed a trade deal with them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The thing is, the "Vietnam War", was not really a separate war.   It was a campaign in what we call "the Cold War", which was really WWIII fought in slow motion with the principals never engaging directly (save a few dogfights over Korea), thanks to nuclear deterrence.

We won the Cold War in 1992 when the Soviet Union collapsed.

So thanks to all of the Cold War vets, be it Vietnam, Korea, the liberation of Grenada, special ops in various places.  We won.  Of course, as usual, the politicians managed to f*** up the peace, and Ukraine is paying the price for that.

This is an interesting coda to the campaign some of you fought in Vietnam, as is the fact that even while they still considered themselves Communists, they were effectively our allies against the new adversary, China, and had actually switched their economy to a fascist model (market economy with a one-party state tweaking things in its own interests).
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
