Everyone thinks that congress just cut off funds for Vietnam and the war suddenly ended but the reality is that they were cutting off funds for a while. President Ford had made a conscience decision not to rearrange funding to keep Vietnam going. The Pentagon has billions to shuffle around but what ends up happening is they end up robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I don't disagree with that

But this is all about PR .. and just having a Headline saying that Congress cuts off funding would hurt us big time

If they cut off funding I think the Rats and MSM would be more stunned than the military supporters because they wouldn't be seeing the immediate withdrawal like they were expecting and then they're stuck being labeled anti-military based on their vote.
