I knew during the Summer of ‘74 that it was a losing effort
Hell, I saw the ARVNs "perform" in VN and I knew in '67 that it was a losing effort.
I had some small glimmer of hope after TET, but that didn't happen.
Besides, I was more concerned with saving my own butt, than winning a war.

After the Case Church amendment went in effect and American assistance stopped, ARVN was on their knees faster than a Kardashian in the Miami Dolphins locker room.

“I had some small glimmer of hope after TET, but that didn’t happen.”

I took R&R in Honolulu with Mrs. Pug in late March after Tet was winding down. Toughest thing I ever had to do was getting back on that plane for my last three months.
