I guess I failed to make myself clear. We support freedom while the FFL supported French Colonialism. I think.
Either way, the concept of using foreign troops isn't foreign to us. The "DPs" (not a derogatory term) in the early 10th SFGA were the real backbone of that group.
As for Indo-China I think we could have stopped communism at the Chinese Border instead of the Mekong River. This is pure unsupported conjecture but I think we may have had a strong anti-Chinese ally in Ho Chi Minh. Vietnamese and Chinese don't mix well. Note that the fear of Chinese occupying Vietnam never occurred.
One thing about conjecture vs. history is that we will never know.
