Vietnam: US Aquatude Lab Nov 1 marks 71 years since the official entry of the United States into the war against Vietnam, a destructive imperialist campaign that ultimately ended in one of the most significant national liberation victories in modern history. For the Vietnamese people, the struggle against US aggression was part of a much longer fight for independence against successive foreign powers, including Japan and France. Despite Washington's overwhelming military superiority, Vietnamese resistance ultimately prevailed, culminating in the liberation of Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, on April 30, 1975. The scale of US destruction was staggering. Millions of tons of bombs were dropped on Vietnam, while chemical weapons such as Agent Orange and incendiary weapons like napalm destroyed entire communities, forests, and agricultural lands. The consequences of exposure to Agent Orange continue to affect Vietnamese families generations later.
