Anyone who thinks America were the good guys in Vietnam is full on fucking stupid.
America who faked an attack on themselves (Gulf of Tonkin incident) to get into a war, start loosing and so used chemical weapons and random attacks on women and children. Then continuing to lose Richard Nixon decided to extend the war crimes and deaths several years in order to run an illegal and undeclared war against Laos and Cambodia - allowing Pol Pot and the Kymer Rouge to get into power off the millitarism and anti-American sentiment the wars created.
Eventually when the American media and students got angry enough and the war dead and massive extent of war crimes, and illegal actions of Nixon got too much, America finally decided to accept their losses and just leave. Leaving Pol Pot to commit his own extremist crimes against humanity.
Ultimately Vietnam had to then go to war with their neighbors in order to stop Pol Pot's war cimes and genocides. Vietnam cleaned up America's mess.
All because America was afraid of Socialism.
The fucking "good guys", spraying agent orange and napalm on children.
