The Truth about the Vietnam War

Did the United States win or lose the Vietnam War? We
are taught that it was a resounding loss for America, one that proves that
intervening in the affairs of other nations is usually misguided. The truth is
that our military won the war, but our politicians lost it. The Communists in
North Vietnam actually signed a peace treaty, effectively surrendering. But the
U.S. Congress didn't hold up its end of the bargain. In just five minutes,
learn the truth about who really lost the Vietnam War.
Decades back, in late 1972, South Vietnam and the
United States were winning the Vietnam War decisively by every conceivable
measure. That’s not just my view. That was the view of our enemy, the North
Vietnamese government officials. Victory was apparent when President Nixon
ordered the U.S. Air Force to bomb industrial and military targets in Hanoi,
North Vietnam’s capital city, and in Haiphong, its major port city, and we
would stop the bombing if the North Vietnamese would attend the Paris Peace
Talks that they had left earlier. The North Vietnamese did go back to the Paris
Peace talks, and we did stop the bombing as promised. On January the 23rd,
1973, President Nixon gave a speech to the nation on primetime television
announcing that the Paris Peace Accords had been initialed by th United States,
South Vietnam, North Vietnam, the Viet Cong, and the Accords would be signed on
the 27th. What the United States and South Vietnam received in those
accords was victory. At the White House, it was called “VV Day,” “Victory in Vietnam
Day.” The U.S. backed up that victory with a simple pledge within the Paris
Peace Accords saying: should the South require any military hardware to defend
itself against any North Vietnam aggression we would provide replacement aid to
the South on piece-by-piece, one-to-one replacement, meaning a bullet for a
bullet; a helicopter for a helicopter, for all things lost-replacement. The
advance of communist tyranny had been halted by those accords. Then it all came
apart. And it happened this way: In August of the following year, 1974,
President Nixon resigned his office as a result of what became known as
“Watergate.” Three months after his resigned came the November congressional
elections and within them the Democrats won a landslide victory for the new
Congress and many of the members used their new majority to de-fund the
military aid the U.S. had promised, pieced for piece, breaking the commitment
that we made to the South Vietnamese in Paris to provide whatever military
hardware the South Vietnam needed in case of aggression from North. Put simply
and accurately, a majority of Democrats of the 94th Congress did not
keep the word of the United States. On April the 10th of 1975,
President Gerald Ford appealed directly to those members of the congress in an
evening Joint Session, televised to the nation. In that speech he literally
begged the Congress to keep the word of the United States. But as President
Ford delivered his speech, many of the members of the Congress walked out of
the chamber. Many of them had an investment in America’s failure in Vietnam.
They had participated in demonstrations against the war for many years. They
wouldn’t give the aid. On April the 30th South Vietnam surendered
and Re-education Camps were constructed, and the phenomenon of the Boat People
began. If the South Vietnamese had received the arms that the United States
promised them would the result have been different? It already had been
different. The North Vietnamese leaders admitted that they were testing the new
President, Gerald Ford, and they took one village after another, then cities,
then provinces and our only response was to go back on our word. The U.S. did
not re-supply the South Vietnamese as we had promised. It was then that the
North Vietnamese knew they were on the road to South Vietnam’s capital city,
Saigon, that would soon be renamed Ho Chi Minh City. Former Arkansas Senator
William Fulbright, who had been the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee made a public statement about the surrender of South Vietnam. He said
this, “I am no more distressed than I would be about Arkansas losing a football
game to Texas.” The U.S. knew that North Vietnam would violate the accords and
so we planned for it. What we did not know was that our own Congress would
violate the accords. And violate them, of all things on behalf of the North
Vietnamese. That’s what happened. I’m Bruce Herschensohn. Following the fall of Saigon more than a
million South Vietnamese were sent to re-education camps in the countryside.
250,000 died, victims of summary executions, torture, disease, and
malnutrition. Between 1975 and 1995, two million Vietnamese fled their country,
sailing the South China Sea in poor equipped vessels in their quest for
freedom. Known as The Boat People, it is estimated that 200,000 of them died in
the effort-victims f drowning and of murder by pirates. Today, Vietnam still
has a Communist Government… but it has abandoned all the Communist economic
theories for which it sacrificed so many of its citizens.
