    So basically admitting you don’t know the actual history? Maybe start with reading a Wikipedia page or something.

    None of that excuses US war crimes in Vietnam, but it does show how a potential future with a hypothetical peace treaty could look like.

      Peace treaty with USA? Wear a red nose and some makeup and walk on the streets while saying that. You will earn good money.
