Capitalism always wins

Most of us call it the Vietnam War. It left millions dead, and millions more wounded over a nearly two decades long conflict.

It caused catastrophic medical and environmental damage from over 75 million liters of the cancer-causing Agent Orange courtesy of the Monsanto Corporation.

And of course there's all the unexploded ordinance that still exists across the countryside here which continues to maim and kill civilians year after year.

Financially, when adjusted to 2016 dollars, the war in Vietnam cost American taxpayers over $1 TRILLION in direct military costs alone.

So what exactly did Uncle Sam get for this exceptional investment?

Nothing. Certainly nothing positive.

Saigon fell on April 30, 1975, and the north and south were merged to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

So the US government's containment agenda to prevent the spread of communism was a total failure.
