True, but “The Killing Fields” were in Cambodia. To Kerry a bloodbath means rounding up millions and executing them as happened in Cambodia, but not in Vietnam. Only tens of thousands were executed in May 1975. But the fact that the NVA didn’t kill more people was the result of China’s intervention in Vietnam.
I wish someone would make a CD of the appeases in Congress who cut off funding for the ARVN and then show the last helicopter leaving the U.S. Embassy followed by the bloodbath with Gigolo John saying in an inset that there was no bloodbath. The last scene should be Mitch McConnell saying, “Is this what the American people want for Iraq? It’s what they will get if they support the Democrats’ insistence we cut off all aid and withdraw from Iraq.”
Kerry and his ilk, including Carter, are as guilty as anyone for the killing fields in Cambodia.
The current prime minister in Cambodia is former Khmer Rouge member who broke with them. He has related, more than once, that when the U.S. was still in Vietnam they, the Khmer Rouge believed they would always be no more than a rural guerrilla movement because “the west would never abandon the government of Cambodia”.
Little did the Khmer Rouge leadership know just how far the treasonous American left would be allowed to go to aid their Communist allies.
It is estimated that 528,000 were killed after the North took over in 1975. See my post #78.
