You are mistaken about this. We had been out of the country for two years. That team was just geting out the civilian staff at the embassy and it was only a few hueys that went over the side and one of those was blown of the deck. The press made it look much worse. You need to do a little work on the history of Viet Nam. We never lost a battle and did not loose in the field. The Democrats took over the Hill and cut off funding. You are quite wrong in your statements. It is all in the record if you care to look.
And this will most likely be the tipping point in the WOT. YOu should find some non-lib Viet Nam vets that server in the 68 to 71 period, particularly after Abrams took over. Your understanding of Viet Nam is strongly invluenced by leftist propaganda.
