Until the betrayal of the Kurds, our closest allies in the Middle East, the fall of Saigon was arguably the most humiliating and shameful event in our nations modern history, then the Cheeto Faced S**tgibbon said “hold my Diet Coke and watch this.”

Americans abandoning our allies in 1975

Thinking of all the deaths of our own and our allies in the fight to end ISIS, now it is all lost with a stupid orange order to cozy up to one of his favorite dictators..

Already, some ISIS and others has escaped the camp and taken up arms again.. atrocities in the streets as the Kurds are murdered by Turks, terrorists and Syrian troops.

, it's obvious Trump has been c*********d his despicable Act and Syria proves it this only benefits Russia he is allowing directions to take over the Middle East it is.
I think they should drop the impeachment investigation and investigate him for treason and then hang him right on the White House lawn

You must have gotten your unfair and unbalanced opinions from CNN, MSNBC and Maxine Waters. When Trump wins in 2020 you, and several other of your mob here on OPP, impress me as the sort who are so filled with unreasonable hatred you'd shoot yourselves in the head and hope Trump dies.

You never give any serious thought to the garbage you d**g in here, do you? You have completely ignored the history of America's involvement in Vietnam. Most likely because you have no clue.

Active military assistance to the French and anti-C*******t forces in Indo-China began with Truman. Assistance (financial and advisory) to these forces continued under Eisenhower and JFK, but it was LBJ who got American combat forces directly involved in the fighting. And, under his administration, American involvement escalated to reach its peak in 1968.

Say what you want about Nixon, but nearly 10 years of fighting and 58,000 dead Americans later, under his policy of "Vietnamization", he began immediately to reduce the number of American combat troops involved, and after numerous attempts to negotiate a peace agreement, he realized the utter futility of this debacle and in 1973, he ended our involvement. The last American combat troops withdrew in March, 1973.

In 1974, Gerald Ford was sworn in as POTUS, and in April, 1975, he ordered the shutdown of the US embassy in Saigon.

The picture you posted is of that evacuation. Ten US Marines (embassy security) were the last American troops to leave Vietnam.

The "most humiliating and shameful event in our nation's modern history" was not the fall of Saigon. You can pin that on LBJ's inept and disastrous conduct of the war.

And, if you think the fall of Saigon can be compared to the withdrawal of a small number of American Troops in Syria, you need a major overhaul in brain functions.

Most excellent post Blade! Unfortunately kevy boi will not understand it, because he has never served!
I was there in 65-66. Not as bad as the later years, but you are spot on, on that scumbag LBJ.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

I salute you, Jake. I have nothing but respect for the men (and women) who served over there, You guys did the best you could do under the orders you were given and the support you received.

As much as I detested that lop eared SOB who, IMO, sold you guys out, it was the low life mofos who spit on you all when you came home that really pissed me off. I wanted to wring some skinny necks.

Kevy has never served our nation in any possible way, he's a Kalifonia Moonbat.
