More misstatements of facts
Truman didn't give $$ to France to regain their colony, Indo-china. The French, ever the immoral cretins that they are, sent the equivalent of $$ to regain Indo-china that we were giving under the Marshall Plan. Truman, fully aware of this diversion of $$, didn't have the balls to cut off the Froggies; as a result, France lagged far behind the remainder of Europe in reconstructing after WWII. BTW, not one dime of US monies under the Marshall Plan was spent in Asia.
Militarily, we won the war in Vietnam. If you doubt that claim, it was virtually the same thing said by General Vo Nguyen Giap, the HMFIC of the North Vietnamese Army.
Nixon indeed set the terms for our withdrawal, and also the terms under which we would recommit forces, should the North Vietnamese violate the treaty. Surprise to no one, the Communist north violated the treaty, as is the wont of communists when it suits their aims, reinvaded the South, and a Democrat congress, nutless and gutless, refused to come to the aid of the governmetn of South Vietnam, and the rest of the story is one of Asian style gulags and other forms of oppression.
