That is such a complete red herring argument, it would be funny if it weren't sad. More people died *because* of US involvement, when we propped up murderous dictators and then left countries like Cambodia to their fates when it wasn't convenient for us anymore. Pol Pot was not a Communist, Shemp, nor was he propped up by the North Vietnamese or anyone else.

people died in southeast Asia in the two years following the U.S.
pullout than in the entire 14 years of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
