The cease fire WAS NOT when the helicopters left and the boat people ran away and NV took over the South. That all happened less than a year from Nixon being gone.

I'm not suggesting the leftists did not precipitate all of this or are not at fault, or that we might have won, but the idea that we did win is a fable as is the idea that this was somehow a Nixonian triumph. There is no reason for us to pretend something happened that didn't.

Was Kennedy a great president? Not likely. Was he the last democrat president that wasn't an American hating socialist tool? Yes. Was Nixon actually any better considering what he did and enacted? I'm not certain.

It was over a year... August 1974 to April, 1975, and when Nixon was in office, the South Vietmanese held their own. It was after the 1974 Congressional Elections and all aid to South Vietnam was stopped by a hard left Democrat Congress that South Vietnam fell, and the choppers lifted off, a holocause began, and the boat people suffered and died.

Click here for the "Watergate Babies" who cheered for that holocaust. Many of those bastards are still in congress.

I can criticize Nixon for a lot of things. But I can't blame him for the fall of Vietnam. He lived up to his promises as long as he was in office.
