37. Vietnam Withdrawal

I would remind you that after Saigon fell, the Khmer Rouge went on a rampage, with hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese people sent to so-called re-eduaction camps. Millions of civilians tried to flee, only to be killed or die as boat people. It was a god-awful brutal episode in history. The whole Vietnam era was terrible, but we can't forget the awful aftermath. That was not an illusion.

We could be facing a similar situation in Iraq. That place has been detabilized so anything can happen.
