I started college, too, in 1974, the year Nixon resigned and the final year in Vietnam. I had just gotten out of the army on my first ets in order to do college and seminary.

It was such a demoralizing time. I remember the news showing helicopters laden with people fleeing. Then the curtain fell. Then there were sporadic reports of the mass murders, boat people, and inability for the hypocrites to report on the events. (No free press at that time and place.)

I hate our socialist MSM and our socialist politicians. From my guts, I despise them, detest them, wish them the worst. May they be accursed. Hell is too good for them.

I started in the Fall of'69.Your memories are similar to mine.It didn't have to be that way.

The nation,although scarred,survived.

This time is different.

I remember that time and actions also. I tried googling pictures of that event yesterday but could not find any that came close to my mind's eye. I remember the desperation of people trying to save their children attempting to put them on evacuating helicopters. I think it was the first time I was ever ashamed of the US government.

I have seldom been stirred to really hate - always called it a waste of good energy. But like you, I truly hate these people. May God forgive me.
