After Nixon resigned, Kerry and other Leftists did something even more awful. They prevented South Korea from getting military aid (not troops or pilots) which had been solemnly promised to them. So the panzer divisions entered Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, and all the non-communist nations of Southeast Asia which had been involved in this long war fell to communism.

Hello? Blocked military aid to South Korea results in Panzers entering Saigon?

...and all the non-communist nations of Southeast Asia which had been involved in this long war fell to communism.

Are you not reading the full sentence? We were not the only ones fighting there. He made an error. He is speaking of South Vietnam. There was much fear, and still is, of the Red Chinese in SE Asia. We promised South Vietnam military aid and knew that without it, they were goners. Panzer divisions is figurative speech. You know full well he meant an onslaught and tens of thousands of deaths when the Communists purified the south. It was tantamount to a largescale human sacrifice, OURS and THEIRS, to the Cong who never should have been able to defeat US on any damb battlefield. It was one of the more shameful moments in America's history, and it was brought to you by....THE LEFT! And I am not excusing the politically afraid right either.They caved or NVN would have been bombed back to the stoneage.

FYI

South Vietnam never fell to communist insurgents. It fell to panzer divisions coming out of a very well supplied North Vietnam, which was essentially all of the military power in this so-called "Civil War." The key was to stop the totalitarian thugs of Hanoi from waging a conventional war behind the safe haven of the borders of North Vietnam.

Do you read whole articles or just a couple of sentences?
