Just Watched "The Last Days in Vietnam"

Holy shite, we screwed those people. I have never been more disappointed in American leadership as I was when I was watching that documentary. We, and by we I mean Congress, wiped our asses with the Paris Peace Accords. Just goes to show what happens when you allow way too much political overreach in something like that.

I'm usually of the mindset that we should've minded our own business. But damnit, those people wanted our help and we straight up abandoned them. They wanted to be free and we told them that we would help deliver them their freedom and we just left them.

It was interesting, though, how right after Nixon resigned, all this went down. The Communists were scared of Nixon and when Ford came into office, they bitch slapped him and Congress. These people wanted our help to free them and went about it much differently than the ME people do it. They were willing to fight with us and they didn't balk at the way we did things. We could've beat the NVA all the way to Russia's front door if we were allowed to.

Again, this is what happens when you allow politicians to control the way battles are fought. Man, that was a disappointing documentary.
