Did we? For all that I know about World War II, and it is alot, I admit I have paid very little attention to the mainland Southeast Asia theater. I know about Singapore falling and the loss of the one or two British battleships in '40, I believe, and know vaguely about Joe Stillwell and Lord Mountbatten, but I can give very few details.
I was also vaguely aware that Ho Chi Minh was involved in activities against both the French and Japanese during the war, but know nothng of US support of those efforts.
