Ping for bedtime for biteme.
l always liked Rummy.
Ten years later, I understood the hideous truth of it all. It was the worst period of our nation's military history, and it was fully run by the DemonRats. We could have supported the ARVN's but the DemonRats cut the aid.
Since that time, I have never voted for a DemonRat, even for dogcatcher. Dogs deserve better.

Good post. Great info.
Good article but no link.
After President Ford lost the election and had left the office, my dad worked with him in Vail, Colorado. I was 13 at the time. Mr Ford was extremely bright and always kind to me. I used to LOVE playing with his dogs, Misty and Liberty, and thought it was surreal to do so - mostly cuz I was a big fan of SNL at the time and how the dogs were portrayed as stuffed on the show. Never got to meet Mrs Ford but it all was a great experience.
Biden was not alone in abandoning Viet Nam.
I will happily blame him for it. But he was not alone.
Ping.
Ford could have nuked No. Vietnam, three main cities, Hanoi, Haiphong (and ports) and Dong Ha above the DMZ. The message to the NVA in So. Vietnam would have been obvious. You will have no homes to go home to. Turn around and immediately leave SVN or I will nuke you too.
No balls and the Congress was then full of communists and sympathizers from Kennedy, Abzug, Burtons, Fraser (insane), Dodd, Conyers, etc.
Ford was a nice guy but he “was found wanting” when the shit hit the fan.
I was involved in So. Vietnam/Cambodia affairs since 1965, and then helped refugees afterwards. I know what we could have done to win the war. We didn’t.
