In the 1960s this actor from 'Man from Uncle' was in real life in a political triumvirate! He and Sen. Bobby Kennedy and superstar actor Marlon Brando were close mutual friends and all were heavily against America fight with North Vietnam and stopping NV from conquering South Vietnam! NV leader Ho Chi Minh had committed a horrible mass-murdering on landlords in a land reform in the 1950's. This deadly land reform meant nothing to the triumvirate!
PS Even Ken Burns showed in his own book on Vietnam how Ho had committed a highly brutal act of mass-murder in the 1950's! See my other postings too!

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!

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.
