I still remember the pictures of the evacuation of Saigon.

The helicopters tossed in the water. Panicked, fearful, screaming Vietnamese held back by US troops. Copters leaving the embassy packed with people.

That said, he can be clobbered by Bush.

The mistake comment is correct but facile and simplistic. Asking or being the one would be dreadful, to say the least. Useful for a debating tool, but ultimately focusing on Vietnam too much could cause him more trouble than its worth.

You should talk to some of the South Viet Namese veterans who fought. I know a guy who was a pilot. He said the dems had cut funding so bad, with the help of that great republican president Gerald Ford (What a joke!) that they didn't have the means to fight. Many died fighting hand to hand on a bride in Saigon after they had ran out of amnunition. The pilot told me he would only have enough fuel to get to the target and back. Through spies the NVA would move their camps. He said he could see them but didn't have enough fuel to get to it and back to base. The truth of the matter is Ford let them down. The NVA broke the peace agreement and we should have nuked their butts.
