Vietnam veterans were treated very poorly by both their fellow Americans and the government that sent them to fight in Vietnam in the first place. They don’t deserve the hate and maltreatment from us, but the government definitely deserves it.

The US has had a long extensive history of backing corrupt and outright fascistic governments. Whatever problems Ukraine may have, Zelensky is no Pinochet.

"We’ve given over 90 Billion to Ukraine. That money could have bought housing for every Veteran, fed & sheltered the Homeless, help set up facilities for the mentally challenged, with change to spare. But THIS Govt does not believe in America or Americans first, only a NWO."

We've also given a grand total of $111 billion to Israel since 1985. Funny how its only some forms of western imperialism you seem to have a problem with.

If this is the worst thing you’ve ever seen in your life then it seems you’ve lived a pretty sheltered and privileged life. Thanks for the trophy.

Metaphorical expression towards your lack of respect and your attitude towards a generation of vets...the irony, you telling someone they've lived a sheltered and privileged life after a ridiculous self centered post...learn who, when and where is an appropriate time to point your finger at for judgement before you do so.
You are sounding off like a stereotypical millennial brat who lacks discipline and respect for a generation that gave everything that you take for granted and shit on!

Most of the "generation that gave everything" were conscripted against their will to commit war crimes for reasons beyond their understanding. Veterans aren't heroes, they're victims.

Kennedy received conflicting advice with regards to Vietnam. Charles De Gaulle warned Kennedy that Vietnam and warfare in Vietnam would trap America in a “bottomless military and political swamp”. This was based on the experience the French had at Dien Bien Phu, which left a sizeable psychological scar of French foreign policy for some years. However, Kennedy had more daily contact with ‘hawks’ in Washington DC who believed that American forces would be far better equipped and prepared for conflict in Vietnam than the French had been. They believed that just a small increase in US support for Diem would ensure success in Vietnam. The ‘hawks’ in particular were strong supporters in the ‘Domino Theory’.

Looks like shortly after Kennedy's assassination is when they really ramped things up;

U.S. Involvement in the Vietnam War: the Gulf of Tonkin and Escalation, 1964
In early August 1964, two U.S. destroyers stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam radioed that they had been fired upon by North Vietnamese forces. In response to these reported incidents, President Lyndon B. Johnson requested permission from the U.S. Congress to increase the U.S. military presence in Indochina.
