He opposed the Vietnam War along with many others! That doesn't make him a supporter of Ho Chi Minh! We had no right to insinuate ourselves into their fight. There were 1,353,000 total deaths (Military & civilian) because of that conflict & in the end, nothing really changed!

Napoleon Solo is the coolest American spy ever.

Robert Vaughn gets a pass.

Forget it. The coolness does not make up for his gaps in political ideology, humanity towards the unbelievably victimized landlords and so on.

He also starred in the second best Superman movie.

He gets a double pass!

It was third best and quit being silly about a very serious subject. It was stressed by politicians in the US that Ho had been mass-murdering to landlords. Kennedy knew it blasted well and so did Vaughn!

What a man, what a legacy!

God bless you Robert Vaughn and may you Rest In Peace.

Vaughn lacked compassion. Hard to think of all those dead landlords without feeling something.

I love God. Vaughn helped protect the NV leader who took true Holy salvation away from so many North Vietnamese left alive during his reign of terror. Ironic choice of words, Gorman! Really so!

Right on, @bratface. Ho Chi Minh was a freedom fighter trying to free his people from French colonialism and oppression. USA got dragged into immorally supporting its French ally and they all had their asses handed to them because they had no moral right to be there and the Vietnamese were fighting for the right thing - freedom, a human right.

And there is something that changed - Vietnam won its rightful independence.

I stand by what I wrote.

In his ( Vaughn's) autobio he writes in detail somewhat of Vietnam and never mentions the landlord slaughter by Ho!

It’s interesting how Hollywood figures like Robert Vaughn from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. were involved in political discussions during the 1960s. The Vietnam War was indeed a divisive issue, with prominent individuals like Vaughn, Marlon Brando, and Bobby Kennedy openly opposing U.S. involvement. While the atrocities committed during Ho Chi Minh's land reforms are part of the historical record, political perspectives on the war often reflected broader geopolitical and humanitarian concerns.

Wrongly put. Never bringing up at all the fact that Ho was a brutal mass-murderer in the 1950s was failing to give justification to the USA and Australia for fighting Ho's deadly forces and stopping him from getting South Vietnam and doing likewise there. Your statement is at a loss because far, far too many books describing the Vietnam War causes (including tons of school textbooks!) completely fail to ever bring up Ho's enormous act of unnecessary carnage. It is very little part of the historical record!

Broader geopolitical, you? No way. If the defacto leader you are at war with is a brutal mass-murderer that is a very vital fact of the war! And it's NO technicality!
