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.
