I felt I had a patriotic duty to serve and did my time before the Vietnam war got underway beyond a true handful of advisors. The Democratic legislature dumped the Vietnamese to to cost of one to two million lives beyond those who died in the war earlier. Then there was Cambodia logging in at two million plus. Most Americans of Vietnamese heritage are here as refugee families.
It was a bad time in our history culminating in the Carter presidency which is still damaging us both through the progressive politics carried over to today and the evil that is Iran. Finally Reagan used the correct and firm approach to world communism that culminated in the fall of the Soviets and their “fellow travelers”. Now communism is back in force and is a major threat reflected in the autocratic presidential candidates and the idea that things have gone too far for politics to correct and the US needs a benevolent dictator to bypass an ineffective legislature.
