We have become South Vietnam. Nothing but a banana republic.
Being a Nam vet, my wife and I were just talking about Nam today AND how America cut and ran and left them to their own devices. I was really, really POed for years because, my question always was, 58,000+ deaths, for what??? I lost a great friend from high school, who lived just down the street from me, in Nam in 1967. He was a Marine corporal who was killed when he tried to retrieve a wounded comrade on the battle field and was hit in the chest and killed. I also lost a second cousin who was an Army sergeant who was killed by a booby trap. Made me sick to see both of their sacrifices for nothing. They died for nothing. It was the stinking dimocrats who got us in that war and the dimocrats of the stinking Congress who cut off funding and basically strangled the military. I well remember, WELL REMEMBER, stinking LBJ says that the military cannot bomb an outhouse in Vietnam unless I say so!! That slime-ball made me want to puke. He was a drunk lout and was worthless. I was glad when he quit. But, I told my wife today that we just cut and run and left Vietnamese people who worked for us, fought with us, were friends to us and we left them to the Communist NVA and Cong, to be raped and murdered and put in prisons and reeducation camps. Many others died in the Boat People trying to get out of the country and out to our ships hoping to be taken aboard. It was NOT America’s finest moment. I left my blood on the ground in that country. Really a worthless war.
