Here, I fixed it for you:

"However, I bear in mind that our gub-mint was killing communist soldiers knee deep in mud at the time and plenty of us, foolishly, believed it was insane and noted that govt. powers that be had about zero interest in that assessment."

Vietnam happened, we were right to go there, and yet the leftists in this country saw to it that most folks think those 50 thousand plus US soldiers died in vain.....if there was any US defeat or communist victory, it should be laid at the feet of the socialist and communist sympathisers in the US
