  1. The American troops in Vietnam had good reason to have low moral, they were victims of strategic ineptitude on the level that Russia is now demonstrating in Ukraine. If you doubt this I refer you to McNamara's later summation of it to be found in the documentary The Fog of War, that being "We didn't really know what we were doing." Despite combat troops coming from halfway around the world to violently interfere in their upcoming election, the Vietnamese do not hate the Americans. I think that Russia will find the demeanor of Ukrainians not so enlightened or forgiving. Though I could be wrong about this since the most massive genocide in all of history was inflicted upon the Ukrainians by the former Soviet Union's thuggery when they intentionally starved more Ukrainians to death in the Holodomor in 1932, than the number of Jews and others the Nazis murdered in their more famous genocide, yet they seemed to have largely forgiven this most massive atrocity in all of history: until now.
