Right on! The South Vietnamese ARVN Troops held out against the NVA for almost two years after we withdrew our troops. Senator Ted Kennedy will occupy a special place in hell for his role in cutting funding for South Vietnamese aid to the point where the soldiers were left to barter for mortars in order to defend against NVA attacks. It was that vote to cut the funding and the inaction in response to the initial probe attacks by the NVA that led to the fall of Saigon. The NVA bet the farm on that invasion, the Soviet Union had given them the last of what they were going to give.

The fall of Saigon could’ve been stopped by air alone. I have to fault President Ford for not going against Congress.
We made promises to those poor people and we left them to a living hell without the means to defend themselves. It was shameful.

When confronted with the truth in a manner that makes dodging difficult, the last refuge of the liberal is to do exactly what Jane Fonda did when asked if she felt any responsibility for the tens of thousands of Vietnamese post-war deaths. She said it was not her responsibility.

Savage is right: liberalism is a mental disorder.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Vietnam continues to be a defining accomplishment of the left-wing radicals of the Watergate generation.

It is rivaled only by their success in spinning the myth of U.S. defeat & sustaining that myth for over thirty years . Here’s another article (posted on FR about 3 years ago) that covers this leftist myth in more detail:

NEVER FORGET

.

After Sen. TED KENNEDY pushed a post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress into cutting off all our funding for the then Free South Vietnamese to fight for their own Fredom with during the Vietnam War,

...just as the Soviet Union gave $6 Billion in 600 tanks, 1,000’s of mobile Artillery pieces and Ammo to Communist North Vietnam for its planned ‘Final Solution’ in the South,

...horridly came:

With these Anti-Freedom Activists pushing hard to regain control over our Oval Office,

I truly wonder what price is now to be paid by the still Free (that’s US)..?

The left’s eternal ignorance about Vietnam never ceases to frustrate and anger me, especially considering my father served over there as an EOD.

Vietnam, aside from being a crystal clear (for true Americans, at least) example of what happens when the RATs run wars, is also a crystal clear example of how ignorant and stubborn people can be. No matter how many Vietnam vets, scholars, and other people who were either there or have done their research stand up and say otherwise, the RATs, who probably couldn’t even find Vietnam on a map, continue to plug their ears and repeat their BS version of what transpired over there...and slam anyone who disagrees.
