Do AmeriKKKans actually care about Vietnam from a "principled" perspective? Or do they just think that Vietnam war was bad because the US lost very badly?

I don't think Americans even remember why there was a war and just consider Vietnam "the bad one" next to WW2 "the good one", no lessons learned or historical curiosity
