    January 23, 1973. A day after President Lyndon B. Johnson’s passing. Ironic.

    Richard Nixon says we have peace in Vietnam. He didn't start this Vietnam war but he ended it. I didn't vote for Nixon but he really did some nice things for us. Nixon was from Whittier. He speaks well in this video.

      Yeah Nixon was great right? Unless you were a poor villager living in Cambodia while he sent planes to bomb your family and destroy your livelihood. Really though, a great guy.

      Richard Nixon stood 6 foot 5 and had a 20-year-old Great Dane named General Schwartz.

      He prolonged the war for personal gain. He's a true POS.

    It never made sense to me that you agree to a cease-fire at some future time and not immediately. It also makes no sense the North Vietnamese release the POW's beginning on Feb. 12, 1973 at staggered intervals with the last POW's coming home in March 1973 which was almost 2 months after the "Peace Agreement". The cease fire should have happened immediately and the POW's released immediately. Can someone explain this folly to me? Did the POW's want to be "sentimental" and spend a few last days/weeks at the Hanoi Hilton?

      Until the Democrats and SJW ruin it for everybody but the communist. Modern Democrats and Liberals even demand communism but refuse to move to a communist country.

    dal coro introduttivo della cavalleria alla fine di Turiddu. Al Godoni di Livorno (par di essere alla Scala di Milano).Ora che le luci sono spente, tutti alla Versiliana. Fino all'Assuntina, il 15 di Agosto (Assunzione). Siete arrivati tardi anche questa volta per questa ennesima emergenza umanitaria ?

    First off I think we never should have gone into Vietnam when Nixon took office in 1969 300 troops were dying every week in Vietnam. I wasn't alive for any of this so I don't exactly how things were like, I was born in 2000 27 years after the America pulled out.

      A bit more than what we’re seeing today (literally today) in Afghanistan
      Today Vietnam is free and interacts in the economy
      In 40 years we’ll still be seeing tribes fighting tribes in the Middle East

    @exrock712 12 років тому +3

    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?
