Is it unfair to expect that Americans would see the tragedy of Vietnam in the way the rest of the world does?

I mean, with the central focus being on what happened to the people of Vietnam, and is still happening today, rather than on what happened to the far smaller number of Americans who suffered and continue to suffer?

And that doesn't mean that I'm saying that what happened to the Americans didn't matter and doesn't matter. All suffering is one by one and family by family, and it doesn't matter whether they are Vietnamese or American.

But at times I get the feeling as if people see Vietnam as a struggle between two lots of Americans who disagreed about it, with the Vietnamese off in the distance forgotten. And I see them in the foreground, with the Americans off in the distance.
