Another fact about Vietnam is that Saigon (or whatever they call it now) is the capitalist engine driving whatever economic recovery is actually taking place in the country.
Another overlooked fact (as was pointed out in a posting from yesterday), is that after Tet, the North was militarily finished. The so called indigenous Viet Cong was completely destroyed. The North signed the Paris Peace accords foreswearing future invasion of the South and the US went home, turning the defense of S Vietnam to the S Vietnamese.
In 1975, the North broke the treaty and invaded. THE POST WATERGATE DEMOCRATS VOTED TO CUT OFF ALL MILITARY AID TO SOUTH AND OVER RODE PRES. FORD'S VETO.
WE WON THE MILITARY STRUGGLE, HAD THE COMMIES BOTTLED UP AND THE TRAITOROUS DEMS HANDED THE VICTORY TO THE NORTH.
Never forget that. Dems cannot be trusted to defend America.
