Some peace agreement. Three years later, they marched into Saigon.
That was a Democrat controlled Congress that made us incapable of backing up our end of things to guarantee the protection of the South.
I don’t doubt for a single second that there were Democrat politicians who were communicating through back channels that if they invaded the South, there was no way we were going to even commit to bombing, so 1975 was a foregone conclusion.
The deal was okay as far as it went. I give Nixon credit for allowing our forces to finally bomb Hanoi, Haiphong, and other areas in the North to force the issue.
Linebacker II was one of the most sensible and effective campaigns of that war.
They would not have marched into Saigon had Congress not cut off all military aid to South Vietnam and had not the Watergate scandal paralyzed the Nixon Administration and elevated the limp-wristed Gerald Ford to the presidency.
Do you believe the North Vietnamese won the Tet Offensive too? One thing you are ignoring is that the Democrats in Congress and their press supporters, led by Walter Cronkite, are the ones that enabled the North Vietnamese to secure victory from the jaws of defeat. When war is televised to the American public on a daily basis her citizens grow tired of war much quicker. If WWII had been televised, Germany, Japan, & Italy would have emerged the victors.
