yes, many American confound the early years of the war under Westmoreland with the later years under Abrams. It was really going quite well. There is also a tendency to think that the "embassy" withdrawal was a withdrawal of combat units. It was not, they were long out of country. Incidentally, Those films of helicopters being rolled of the deck are exaggerated. they were not that many, and some were actually blown off. It amazes me the myth that persist about that conflict.

The myth is the result of no one (thats not a lib) being allowed to talk about Vietnam. If you bring it up and you weren't alive then they (usually libs) say "what do you know?" If you did fight in the war, like most soldiers of any war, you don't talk about it because you just don't. The Libs have taken ownership of it on college campuses with hugely biased courses on it. It is not talked about in high school. It is the biggest cover up in our history because if the average person knew just how bad the communists infiltrated this country we would be pissed and do something about it. Instead when you bring up communism, you get laughed at.

Someday all the vets of that war will be dead and no one will be around to tell the truth - if the libs have their way. They created the quagmire that they refer to any time someone defends this country with the military (that isn't a Dem).
