Last Days in Vietnam
#7
Albert Doyle Wrote:I saw a presentation on TV this summer about the US withdrawal from Viet Nam in 1975. It was a traumatic program for people who lived through the era. A massive rush to get to the evacuation ships before the North Vietnamese Army stormed the city.

Laos and Cambodia fell at almost the same time. Corrupt officials and generals in those countries rushed to get out with their loot. There was never a better example of how dumb it is to prop up crooked, unpopular regimes.
