"While pundits have compared the evacuation from Afghanistan to that from Saigon in 1975 after North Vietnamese forces took the city, in that case the U.S. rescued about 7000 people in only two days, from April 29 to April 30." Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos were so much worse than Afghanistan... for those confused, listen to Lawrence O'Donnell at MSNBC; replays of last night and others will explain the mendacity of MSM covering this mess... and much more. Lawrence's judgement matches his knowledge... and character... on historical fact and the racist aspect, there is no one better.
