Most of the Vietnam soldiers felt that we “dumped” the So. Vietnamese. The desperation at the Embassy to save those people who committed to the US and the decisions to abandon them are exemplary of what divided the entire country. I never knew how high up in command the order came from but indeed it didn’t come from those who were in country. I also recommend “The Case Against Kissinger” series in Harpers Magazine to those who want an understanding of command decisions.
Thanks for the truth.

I happened on this by accident NOVEMBER 21, 2009 and i am appalled. I opposed the Vietnam war from 1963 as well as the many other US wars from Grenada, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan, Columbia, Venezuela etc. etc. ad infinitum. War does not equal patriotism no matter what the propaganda outlets in our country desire. I wish I could be optimistic but I am not.

I listened to HV034 while jogging in a slash pine / palmetto palm forest in SWFla. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. I particularly enjoyed ‘Goodbye to Saigon’; I graduated university in 1966; I did not serve in the military; I did work 35+ years in the National Security arena. I brought back many memories. It provided color. regards, jrbox
