Liberals Are Vietnaming Us, And I'm Sick Of It!

Remember when John F. Kerry testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations back in 1971? Just in case you forgot, or never knew about it in the first place, here's a taste of what he said. "They [American soldiers] told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam."
It turns out that most of the claims Kerry was reiterating had come from men who never actually fought in Vietnam. In fact, most of them had never even been in the military. Still, that didn't stop him from trying to convince Congress, as well as everyone in America, that our troops serving in Vietnam were generally rapists, torturers, and psychotic murderers.
Thanks to the efforts of Lt. Kerry and his fellow communist sympathizers in the anti-war movement, popular support for our efforts in Southeast Asia steadily declined, and by 1973 the United States had pulled its combat forces out of Vietnam. However, in spite of the fact that we were no longer sending troops to that country, the liberal "peace at all costs" crowd still wasn't satisfied. You see, even though President Nixon had reached an agreement with North Vietnam to withdraw our troops, he had also agreed to continue giving financial assistance to the South Vietnamese military.
Of course, by the fall of 1974, his administration was coming to an end, due to the Watergate scandal, and liberal Democrats in Congress refused to go along with the Nixon plan for the future security of Southeast Asia. They continued to ignore the pleas of the South Vietnamese for much needed aid until, in April of 1975, Saigon fell to the forces of the north and was renamed ** Chi Minh City. In the days and weeks which followed that event, tens of thousands of refugees fleeing for the coast were murdered by the advancing communist army.
By the middle of May, communist governments had been established in South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and over the course of the next four years, the Khmer Rouge, under the direction of Pol Pot, would slaughter over 1.9 million Cambodians.
