South Vietnam went down the drain because of Mark Felt and Watergate which led to the election of an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress which cut off all military aid. I wonder if his family is “proud” of the hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese killed as a consequence. Moreover, he did his backstabbing not out of conviction but out of revenge for having been passed over for a promotion; his family thought they deserved money for it.

And don't forget the millions of Cambodians exterminated as a direct result of unchecked communism in SE Asia.

I hear you. I agree. And then there was the vacuum left in Cambodia which saw half it’s population slaughtered (2 million humans).

The left was responsible for upwards of 3 million deaths as a result of cutting off the funding of the Vietnam War. And why did they do that? “They wanted the abuses by the United States to end.” And when the slaughter took place as a result, there wasn’t one word of remorse.

Can’t tell you how I despise the left of that time.
