I am so sick of this progressive crap that I could just scream! From day 1 the message has been that the SEA conflicts were unjust and immoral. After all, Ho Chi Minh was just a national patriot that was only trying to rid his country of foreign imperialism. America should be ashamed.
To be sure we made strategic and tactical errors (see Rufus Phillips' article attached) and unfortunately we are still making these same mistakes in the prosecution of the ME conflicts. But that does not mean that the motives for engagement were unjust or immoral as the progressives would have us believe. Nor should we be ashamed.
Well, the Democratic congress that reneged on our agreement to provide material aid to the South Vietnamese Army and allowed the NVA to invade, should damned well be ashamed!
Now the progressive meme is that all is well in Indochina after those evil American troops left the scene. Give me a f'n break. See below from Mike Benge.

Mike and folks like Rufus Phillips, Tommy Daniels, Steve Sherman, COL (USAF ret) Joe Potter, CMDR (USN ret) Joe Procopio are doing incredible work fighting the progressive revisionist history and rescuing/aiding the Khmer, Hmong, Cham, and Montagnards from the on-going oppression and genocide in SEA.
For those of you interested in a truthful account of our prosecution of the Indochina wars please see (1) "A Bright Shining Lie" by Neil Shehan and (2) "Why Vietnam Matters - An eyewitness account of lessons not learned" by Rufus Phillips.
This wholesale inversion of truth and upside-down morality has got to stop!
