VietNam’s “boat people” have been a positive thing for America.

Afghans maybe not so much.

this is 10,000 times worse than Vietnam...Nixon and American combat troops were long gone by the time Saigon collapsed in 1975...South Vietnam fought by themselves the last 2-3 years and did a pretty good job...it was Biden and the Dems back then who cut off funding and stabbed them in the back..this situation here..there are thousands of Americans through out Afghanistan who cant get to the only way out in Kabul....if the Taliban wanted to, they could simply start executing them...never seen anything like this in my life...anywhere ever in any other war....all just to remove 2500 troops??....insanity.

Those boat people have been a tremendous positive to the US.

Also, I am of the opinion that we.actually won the Vietnam war, it just took 50 years to do it.

Educated Afghans, who, I’d like to assume would be the bulk of Afghans, being admitted (but with the bunch in DC you never know) could well be assets. Iranians who have fled Iran have tended to make pretty good citizens.

No indeed. My local Iranian shop owners who are modern and little religions cannot stand their Afghan worker. They call him “another dumb Aluha Akbar”. Indeed, like an insecure klansman, this dude’s sense of pride only derives from his cult.
