No Centurion, Ford was President. The Democrat controlled Congress refused to fund the effort the peace.
Kinda like the current Republican Congress refused to fund Obama’s legalization of wetbacks.
Oh wait, THAT did not happen.
Certainly Ford was President when the Democrat Congress failed to appropriate funds agreed by the Paris Accords and our promises to the South Vietnamese government. But, to think that the Senate refusal to appropriate emergency funds for an invasion that had already overrun the Central Highlands is not realistic.
Read something about the Easter Offensive of 1972, the agreement in the Paris Accord that allowed North Vietnamese Army unit to retain gains that they made in ‘72, and the lack of support to rearm and reequip the ARVN after the ‘72 offensive. The Senate was not involved in any of these fatal errors and their action in April, 1975 was simply a Coup de Grace, it ended a war that was already over.
Don’t read the political histories, read the books that present an accurate military account of the war. The politicians sold out the soldiers and, in my view, the country. With recent practice, they are getting quite good at it.
