…and don’t forget the other Holocaust in Cambodia that followed our departure. War is terrible but people need to have the will to fight whenit’s necessary.Spaceghost I have seen numerous references that state the 100000 casualty figure was a made up number based on extrapolating some small amount of data. There are apparently verifiable tallies in the area of 17000-20000. Not that one dead innocent isn’t one too many but the idea that the US is in there slaughtering the innocent is pretty unfounded. Further, it’s the terrorists who are now killing the innocents. Do you think that effort would decline if we left? Maybe I’m too fixated on the sights when we left Vietnam, people begging, crying, handing their children off the strangers, anything to get them OUT of the country. I work with a man married to a Vietnamese woman. She said following our departure it was a hideous situation with many innocents killed as the Viet Cong took over. Plus for YEARS afterward, those who had cooperated with the US were persecuted, jailed, killed.
I just think it would be WORSE if we left than if we stay.
