received this as an email and also researched for reference.

There is an article in the Washington Times also - but it has to be excerpted.

This senator reviled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford.

The Washington Times wrote this drivel?

to revile, transitive verb: criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner.

Regards,

Real commies hate the South Vietnamese refugees. I knew a guy years ago that I found out later was a leftist. He hated the South Vietnamese. That’s how I figured out that he was active in leftist causes. He was a contractor that I had dealings with and over the years I’ve been able to sense who’s a closet commie. There’s quite a few out there.

The Ford administration screwed up the Mayaguez incident.

Irony of ironies, there were many Roman Catholic Vietnamese, owing to the long French influence on the area.

I was a second lieutenant of Marines based in Kaneohe Hawaii when I was called back to my unit for what was to be the withdrawal operation in Vietnam in 1975. The plan was specifically to hold the perimeter around Saigon until the US had brought ships to evacuate as many as 2 million people who had supported us and our efforts to keep them free and bring them here for a new life. I was party to the classified briefings and I still have the maps.

As we prepared to mount out, my own orders were changed to independently lead a Naval Gunfire Spot Team in Vung Tau but when my team and I got to Guam, the orders were changed again to leading an antitank team at a sports stadium northeast of Saigon to be part of the effort to stop the North Vietnamese tank columns.

As our aircraft approached Tan Son Nhut, the base came under sustained rocket fire and we were returned to Guam. We were put aboard ship and we ended up sailing in circles off Vietnam, watching the end come and far fewer people be evacuated.

I was, and am deeply ashamed for our country and our failure to protect our friends.

That was the Democrats who did that, the same Democrats we have fought our choice as President for the last four years.

Biden helps the Russian and Chinese communists. Muslim dictators as well. Not Americans or anyone else that want to be free.
