Vietnam History

Hi guys,
I am getting my BSN, and I am taking a Vietnam History class. My question is.... What did Herring mean by "The American evacuation of Saigon revealed in microcosm much of the delusion, frustration, and tragedy that marked the American experience in Vietnam". Its alot of political mumbo jumbo, I've been in the Army a couple of times, and know what its like although I haven't been at your level. So I am not trying to start any crap. I just need to know what this means accurately. I think it means that the US thought it had a one size fits all solution when it came to applying it's type of government, not taking into consideration the country, culture, people, etc. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Tim
I don't know why I posted this in this area.....Jeez
