Last Friday, April 30th, was the 35th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War, and last Tuesday, May 4th, was the 40th anniversary of the shooting of protesting students at Kent State University. The Vietnam War and America’s involvement in it affected the lives of millions for well over a decade, exacting a massive human cost with millions of deaths and countless injuries - both physical and mental - that plague many of those involved to this day. United States military involvement and troop strength grew rapidly after 1964 - at its highest level in 1968, with over 500,000 troops on the ground. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. now bears the engraved names of 58,267 of those troops. It’s nearly impossible to encapsulate an event of such scale in a handful of photographs, but here, 35 years after the end of the conflict, is my attempt. (47 photos total)

Exactly. Why were “boat people” forced to board barely floating junks and risk the high sea in the hopes of finding a good hearted US ship to save them? Why would they leave by the millions? The media should have focused on that question, and the answer would have been as brutal as the “killing fields” of Cambodia, only they couldn’t blame the US on the brutalities that followed the end of South Viet Nam.[Post Reply | Private Reply | To 2 | View Replies]

Well, America pulled out and of course the inevitable happened: the North Vietnam Communists invaded, took over, and over a million South Vietnamese were killed under its rule.[Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies]

The comments section is awful, owned by the lefties, though there are a few good comments in there. The best one is by a guy named Justin near the bottom. What impresses me about the pictures is that 35 years later they’re still trying to demoralize us and cast Vietnam as the Bad War. The psyche of the left requires that we be solemn and angry and ashamed when we think of Vietnam. But I think it was a good war, justified and winnable.35: The Big Pictures[Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies]
“The stupid comments following those pictures on the source page are amazing. Boston is truly lost. They want communism. Perhaps we should let them have it.”
I agree there were an disappointingly large number of stupid comments, but there are also some wonderfully smart and compassionate comments about the truth. I particularly liked the one by Wintermuth a German who espoused about National Socialism and Communism and wondered about how long stupid ideas like those can truly last when capitalism and freedom are present and so obviously better...20posted on 05/09/2010 7:12:08 AM PDTby Wpin(’I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny...’)[Post Reply | Private Reply | To 14 | View Replies]Navigation: use the links below to view more comments.
