Might want to talk to those embassy Marines helping the staff out. Last man to leave was a Marine.
Those weren’t combat troops, dtroutma. Those were embassy guards. Learn a little history.
please be careful, J.D. - they always shoot the messenger.
A MARINE is ALWAYS a MARINE you dipstick! tj studies history at MAXX, in the discount aisle??
First one in. Last one out. That’s why there are Marines at the embasy. It’s what they do. You’ve got to be good to get embassy duty.
Was the cartoon possibly describing the last of the troops to get out of Viet Nam?
Another magnificent victory.
Susan, read lowC above. It’s just become an iconic image from that awful war. Better question – why have we constantly been drawn into awful wars since World War II?
