Even earlier, actually - Ho Chi Minh was around at Versailles in the wake of World War I trying to get Western support for Vietnamese independence, but neither Clemenceau nor Wilson would see him.  Needless to say, the only attention he could attract was from Lenin and the Comintern.  But even during World War II, he worked with OSS backing and had his guerrillas fighting the Japanese and Vichy French.  And then he asked Truman to recognize his independence declaration, probably hoping that the recent coöperation with American forces would be viewed favorably and... nope again.  So yeah, Viet Nam was a continuing American foreign policy failure for over half a century, not just for the duration of the conflict.

I did not realize how old he was!  But he still remains an example of US ineptness at choosing sides in foreign civil wars.

Most people agree now, that Hitler would have been a better ally than Stalin ... which is why I despise most people.

Of course we should have supported every 3rd world Leftist movement ... we are France, right?  Oh, France didn't support ones in their former colonies ;-))  The Resistance only opposed Hitler, after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union ... when Stalin was allied with Hitler, the Resistance (French communist party) sat on their baguettes.  They contributed materially to the defeat of France.  Made up for it later, after their Comintern handlers ordered them to.  Socialism is a cancer, at least when controlled by Stalin from afar.  That is what the EU is ... European Socialists controlled by the Soviet Union, from 1946-1991.  The US used Muslim terrorists to defeat the Soviet Union in Afghanistan .. is it a coincidence that Muslim terrorists are being used to defeat European socialism?  Hmmm.
