History is written by the winners. The Left (at home and abroad) won the Vietnam War. The truth of how close they came to losing will never by publicly known.

IMHO, that is precisely the problem. Pacifism is at best a balancing force in the world. It isn't supposed to actually ever win because it isn't functional...sissies never really rule the playground.

Unfortunately, when Washington decided to pull-out of Vietnam, the pacifists interpreted that as VICTORY and they have been waiting until now to use the delusional political capital they believe they accumulated at that time.

Truly, the patients are now running the asylum.

I have to correct you here, Dark Skies.

This was not a victory for pacifism. These people were not pacifists. This was a victory for communism. These people were traitors, aiding and abetting the communist victory.
