Đọc để thấy số phận miền Nam đã được quyết định từ năm 1969.

Trận Mậu Thân 1968 có thể là một thế cờ mở đầu của người bạn đồng minh chuẩn bị rút chạy, vì ngày mở màng cho trận địa Tết Mậu Thân, quân đội Hoa Kỳ hoàn toàn im lặng không phản ứng khi cộng sản giặc Hồ bắt đầu khai hỏa tấn công miền Nam.

Hoa Kỳ chỉ có phản ứng mạnh khi đặc công cộng sản giặc Hồ tấn công và đã gây thương vong cho những người lính Mỷ tại tòa đại sứ Sài Gòn.

Kissinger: “Dobrynin then asked me how I saw the future. I said that I really had not come to discuss Vietnam, but to sum it up in a few words, we were very confident. For the first time in my experience with Vietnam, I now was certain that time was working on our side. It seemed to me that Hanoi had only two choices—to negotiate or to see its structure in South Vietnam erode. He said, ‘Isn’t there even a slight chance that the South Vietnam Government might collapse?’ I said that we were confident that we were on the right course. Maybe Hanoi would start an offensive but then, as the President had repeatedly pointed out publicly, it would have to draw the consequences. Dobrynin said, ‘Of course, if you start bombing the North again, or if you hit Haiphong, you realize what would happen.’ I expected him to say the Soviet Union would come in. But instead, he said, ‘What would happen is the Chinese would send in engineer battalions, and you don’t want to increase Chinese influence in Hanoi.’ I said, ‘If you can live with it, we can,’ and in any event, our problem was to end the war in South Vietnam.”

Lesson in Vietnam from Kissinger to Nixon:… “when we made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war”, we would not help them fight it.”

strategic hamlets, a South Vietnamese Government program to counter Viet Cong control in the countryside. The government relocated farmers into fortified hamlets to provide defense, economic aid, and political assistance to residents. The hope was that protection from Viet Cong raids and taxation would bind the rural populace to the government and gain their loyalty. The program started in 1962, but was fatally undermined by over expansion and poor execution. By 1964 it had clearly failed.
