Wait just a minute!
Have you forgotten history?
The party, formerly known as the Democrat Party, used that exact "dry up the ammo & equipment source" to stab South Vietnam in the back and hand victory to the former Democrat Party's soon-to-be fellow communists...
Richard Nixon negotiated “Peace With Honor” and the Dems in Congress then cut off the military assistance is the story I experienced as a child.
I also supported Dr. Carl McIntire who marched for World War II style victory in Vietnam and lost his radio station to the Fairness Doctrine of the FCC for it.
The liberals complained about him to the feds and the Republican run FCC pulled the license.
