At the least, Vietnam was a military victory and a political draw.

Yup! I well remember that military victory epitomized by the iconic photo of the helicopter on the embassy roof. Now all shout,"USA...USA...USA!" Then go look at the Granite wall in DC.

There are too many people yet alive, Don, for anyone to be able to perpetuate successfully the myth behind the fraudulent MSM BS photo, Don.

The photo will likely outlive us all, however, and survive in the history books courtesy of the left.

The photo they want to burn into your mind was taken some 2 years after US ground forces had decimated the NVN and left the region.

The folks on the rooftop were not US military personnel, they were individuals who had assisted the US or who otherwise had ample reason to believe they would be assassinated by the arriving NVN.

Much, if not all of that lift and other local air operations at the time was by SVN choppers and pilots. US air assets at the time were largely a normal part of off shore naval forces.

Gheeze, speaking of losers. As if any memorial represents whether or not we won the war.
