Unfortunately a lot of that’s not true. The Peace Treaty left an entire NVA field army within the borders of South Vietnam. We did not destroy Hanoi’s ability to wage war. LBJ and McNamara knowingly were engaged in a no-win policy beginning shortly after the election of 1964. Nixon’s policy was to extricate American combat troops from the war, not to defeat Hanoi.

Get yourself a copy of HR McMaster’s ‘Dereliction of Duty’, the whole sad chronology going back to JFKs unwise decisions is spelled out in detail.

It was all the Democrats cutting off the money. Check me out. We had it won and done. It was a human disaster to erase a victory caused by a defending of the South. The defunding followed Nixon’s departing office over nothing

I’ll definitely check out the HR McMaster book, and thank you (I guess) for the coffee nose-flush your tag line just caused.
