Header referred to Vietnam

Fox — 11/2/2006 2:05:19 AM (archived)

I've never been eager to draw parallels between that conflict and the current one (or two), so I won't go there now, either.

But, IMO the retreat from Saigon was not a surrender... except perhaps in the eyes of those insisting that any option other than total WWII-style victory was equivalent to "surrender". Few of those remained in 1975, and their numbers are falling now, too.
