Nam started out with a few non-combatant "advisers" in the 50's.
I actually don't think so. It all started with Bush Senior when he had his grudge with Saddam. What did he do? He destroyed general infrastructure, thereby not pissing off Saddam but the general population. After that came the UN with the oil for food program, making Saddam very wealthy in the process, and which was then followed by Bush Junior. Took quite a few years but resulted in the very same way that got the Nazis to power, mainly a large amount of pissed off population, which we call now Daesh or ISIS.
Same is happening now here in Yemen where our wonderfully "liberated" Aden is now full of Al Qaeda and Daesh, making sure that it stays .... liberated.
Good Lord am I having a hangover or what?!
