We had actually won in VN. The Dems cut off funding for the war, would not allow the bombing of NVN and completely abandoned the SVA and other allies (hmong, Montagnard, etc.) As usual the Dems were against victory and blamed Nixon (really the only Republican president involved). The VC were decimated, the BVA were down to 13 yr. old kids and the Dems got scared of victory.

??? I thought it was a Dem, LBJ, that started the war? So they were for the war before they were against it?

Anyways, thanks for the summary. It was lost politically then....they must REALLY hate their country.
