I'm sure you didn't imagine Rush saying it. I've seen other threads where it is mentioned.

Keep looking. It's probably out there. Certainly it is true. Let's hope the North Vietnamese were gracious enough to thank them.

OK. Now I remember. I heard it from Oliver North yesterday on Sean Hannity's show, and he quoted from N. Vietnamese General Giap's book that credited the anti-war protesters for our surrender.

Here's a link which might explain it further.

Here's a snip from it.

From 1969 to the end of the war, over 20,000 American soldiers lost their lives in a war that the United States did not have the resolve to win. If General Giap was accurate in his assessment that North Vietnam was going to seek a conditional surrender but stopped due to the sensationalism of the American news media and the anti-war protests following the 1968 Tet Offensive, it follows that those who participated in these anti-war activities and misreporting have to share partial responsibility for those 20,000 + Americans deaths.
