Have you ever stopped to look at it from the other side: That perhaps most of the South, including the hundreds of thousands who joined the ARVN, were actually fighting for their independence, in this case from the soul-destroying totalitarianism that was Communism? That all the people in the South actually wanted was freedom, to live their lives as they wished and not be subject to the whims of some apparatchik, and that’s why the VC never gained widespread support? Have you ever considered, that by invading the South and taking it over, North Vietnam and its Soviet allies actually took away South Vietnam’s independence?
Yes! My relatives are all southerners for goodness sake!
Let me remind you: Communist or not, Northerner or Southerner, the VietNamese people are one, therefore our country is one. North VietNam didn’t “invade” South VietNam, its their country and they can put their army anywhere they want whether you like it or not.
The only invaders were America and its bloodthirsty army.
