April 30, 2020, marks the 45th anniversary of the “Fall of Saigon”, when communist North Vietnamese forces took control of the capital of South Vietnam. The event in 1975 marked the end of nearly 30 years of internal conflict and ushered in the end of the Vietnam war. The day was marked with confusion and fear as many tried to flee the city while US military forces left the country for good. This news report from the time shows how international media reported that momentous day, and includes two inaccuracies. In the chaos of the day, the 1975 report incorrectly described an American evacuation point as the roof of the US embassy when it was actually a nearby building housing US officials and their families. And where North Vietnamese force tanks were shown, they were also incorrectly described as being "abandoned" by the retreating South Vietnamese army.

My question is if the afganistan that the United states trained for 20 yrs, why were they joining the Taliban?? Not all but alot did?? United states allies are mad at us, but if it wasn't working there why keep trying?? I realize it was alot of money and people died, why did we stay there?? Plus in Vietnam we left in 1975, how can you help other countries if they don't want help??

@@jenniferpoland8886 maybe they’re were intrigued by the Talibans ideology? Idk. Back in the Vietnam war, the NVA and the Vietcongs uses a lot of techniques to rally more men to join them, going as far as starving the families who refused to join infusing communist ideology into peoples lives and deliberately spread misinformation about the US and the South Vietnamese government. Maybe the Taliban did something similar? It’ll be unfolded.

2:00 Here you see the contrast between the South Vietnamese, and the Afghan Army. The ARVN were outnumbered, undersupplied against an enemy with tanks and an air force. Even when the Americans abandoned them, they still fought till the bitter end. The Afghan Army was ten times the size of the Taliban, and possessed tanks, and an Air Force. Yet they put up zero resistance. The Taliban simply walked into every major city uncontested.

But there is a big difference in the Middle East. Afghanistan will be dragged into Iran and Saudi Arabia feud, the support to setup a stable government is unstable and historically Middle East thrives on religious regime, in which some laws goes 100% against humanitarian system hence they don’t garner stable backing. Vietnam success in growth is also mainly due to china being its neighbour, whether Vietnamese accept it or not, it’s a given fact. There are border disputes, some feuds but the Vietnam policy of privatisation which saved its economy is mainly due to private Chinese investment. And sadly I can’t see it happening in Afghanistan, although the world is more global and support is so much easier to provide, the clashing beliefs and local laws hinder the growth. Ultimately the citizens will suffer while the top dogs who sets up for power and riches will enjoy their luxury until death.

While the US armed forces is apolitical; the armed forces of the Chinese, Russian, Cubans, Vietnam, are politically indoctrinated and their loyalty are tested even before they learn how to fire a gun or rifle. America didn't learn her lesson in Vietnam; America didn't understood itself and forgotten that the US Armed Forces was born out of a revolutionary group.

My uncles from my mom’s side fled by cramming onto a fishing boat. They were one of the lucky boats that didn’t run into any pirates and were able to get to a refugee camp in the Philippines before coming to the US. My dad’s grandpa, who fought for the ARVN was imprisoned after the war and spend 9 years in a labor camp. Afterwards he and my dad would work on getting their visas to come to the US. after 13 years, they were finally granted their visas and were able to come to the US by plane.

Unbelievable that it happened again in Kabul. I have friends who are Vietnamese-born Chinese Americans. True that they've been very well educated in USA but they never forget what USA did to their people and Vietnam. They never feel they are Americans because USA deep down remains a racially divided country. As refugees, they had no right to determine their destination country. Many ended up in France, Australia, Canada.

I feel sorry for south Vietnamese soldiers as they were abandoned. Pretty sure they had very high hope from American soldiers. History says they were outnumbered by North Vietnamese soldiers but they still choose to fight with North Vietnamese soldiers. The difference is in Kabul the Afghanistan soldiers surrender but US is still same abandoning is their hobby. I think many US allies should be prepared cuz history might repeat. Don't expect too much from US.
