I was half way through USAF Basic Training at Lackland AFB when it was announced that Saigon had fallen.

I went on active duty a few months after the fall of Saigon. I also have a vivid memory of the helicopters evacuating people off the roof. I didn't think I'd ever see anything like that again.

And yet, here we are doing the same damn thing 50 years later.
