The Americans started doing that, but later, they began to leave and left Vietnam to handle their own affairs. No one else took over Vietnam except the Vietnamese people. This took a lot of the mentality and morale of the soldiers. War in general is very tragic and it shouldn't happen. People should have peaceful minds and shouldn't have enemies.
War can sometimes be an asset to a country, but it can also destroy that country too.
Unity is really important as well as having patriotism. The Koreans fought in Vietnam because they felt that it was a payback for their help during the Korean War. I also know other people that have it. War itself should not exist.
