Oh boy stab in the back theory. Completely ignores the majority support of the war throughout the entirety of the relevant timeline.of it and the complete and utter incompetence of both military and diplomatic policy.

Here's the pro-tip, how are you going to win a unification war when the side you're on is despised and constantly on the verge of revolt inside of its own territory?

You know this probably could have been much easier if we just… didn't hide information from our own president like preventing letters from ho chi min from reaching them. Just saying. Maybe even avoided war altogether! Oh what's that? People would rather have war than support anything adjacent to the evil virus from satan? Okay thanks guys, you're only partially at fault for McCarthyism.
