#2 After our withdraw, the North invaded. They were defeated by the South Vietnamese army. They received air support and material aid from Washington. Then the Donk Congress pulled all aid and forced Nixon out. The second North Vietnamese invasion succeeded.

#3 This imbecile was a senator when they cut aid to SVN he knew exactly what happened...ref Procopius. Yet he recites some narrative that sounds like he got it from Cher.

#4 At the time of the fall of Saigon Nixon wasn’t president and the legislative branch was to n full backstabbing mode.

As one of that first round of backstabbers I hope he burns in hell. There is no mercy for him that isn’t persecution of the just.

#5 Amazing that we were in Afghanistan so much longer than we were in Vietnam. Apparently we can never leave (as in Germany/Japan/Korea) if we want to ensure the peace. Good to know next time we think about this sort of thing.

He and his crew have run this place for ABOUT 20 YEARS - It would be appropriate to retire Rantburg on or about its Anniversary Date
