"Fun" fact. The US Air Force actually doesnt refer to it as the "Vietnam war", they call it the "southeast Asia war". You might think it's their way of owning up to the other countries they bombed, but it's more like a "they gave us no choice and we had to bomb the other countries because communism"-thing.
