Did the 58,000 die to protect your ability to buy cheap stuff at Buy N Large?

Why were we in Vietnam? It was to stop communism’s spread, right? That’s what we all believed, at least those of us who supported the war. But this thought-provoking column by Harold Myerson in The Washington Post, about the out-sourcing of factory jobs from China to much-cheaper and more ironclad communistic Vietnam, suggests that the 58,000 Americans who died in that war — really died so that you could buy cheap stuff at the Buy N Large. What do you think?
