One of the most historical moments in U.S. History.

Hmm, what's missing? Oh yes, mention of the 140,000 NVA troops allowed to remain in place in the south, armed and supplied. And waiting for the running dog imperialists to leave, knowing that they had their fill of jungle guerilla warfare and would not be returning. He knew full well South Vietnam was unlikely to survive without US support. Did he perhaps just want a "decent interval" between withdrawal and collapse to give the appearance of loyalty?

It is not "revisionist" to state the FACT that Nxion kept us in VietNam for FOUR YEARS after becoming President and killed millions of innocents as a result; our leaving that sorry nation was a disgrace, and all the end result was that the Communists WON. WHat were all those deaths for if that was to be the end result? EISENHOWER's CIA got us involved in VietNam and Kennedy was going to extricate us as well as shake up a lot of things and was murdered by insiders as a result.

Obama needs to get us out of Afghanistan.

A little late to end what was a completely unnecessary involvement in a completely unnecessary war; "peace with honor," LOL! Murdering millions of innocents is "honorable?" Actually, Nixon, who nearly wrecked the U.S. Constitution, did some good things as president, but he is still one of the lying murderers who served in this office.
