the american involvement in vietnam is coming to an end. the day the south vietnamese can take over their own defense. is in sight. our goal is a total american withdrawal from vietnam. we can and we will reach that goal through our program of vietnamization if necessary. but we would infinitely prefer to reach it even sooner. through negotiations i'm sure most of you will recall that on october 7th of last year in a national tv broadcast. i proposed an immediate ceasefire throughout indochina the immediate release of all prisoners of war in the end of china area and all indochina peace conference the complete withdrawal of all outside forces and a political settlement. tonight i again call on hanoi. to engage in serious negotiations to speed the end of this war. i especially call on hanoi. to agree to the immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners of war throughout into china. it is time for hanoi to end the barbaric use. of our prisoners as negotiating ponds. and to join us in a humane act that will free their men. as well as ours. let me turn no

description of the situation in vietnam but it is a word used by almost americans here meaning in south vietnam, except the top officials to characterize what is happening? to the point here. is that stalemate the term stalemate have been used widely and frequently to characterize the us military effort in vietnam. well before well before the cronkite moment well before late february 1968. so a question for you all is whether cronkites having said stalemate. does that make a difference? does it somehow matter more if cronkite set it? and if so, how or was cronkite not just playing catch up with the rest of the news media with the rest of the national news media in 1968. so let me stop this the presentation here for a moment and ask for your observations. responses to those questions. does it matter somehow more if cronkite was the one who said stalemate? or wasn't he just clean catch up. by february 1968 shane please. um, i in regard to whether or not concave letter role. i'm more inclined to believe he's catching up. i think there are a lot of contextual factors throughout the fences. they're

as the son of two immigrants from south vietnam, on today, standing here, the eve of the 46th anniversary of the fall of saigon, this is an extraordinary moment for me. on april 30, 1975, my father, a south vietnamese army pilot and so many other soldiers, american and south vietnamese, scrambled as they evacuated a city that started to burn. a nation that started to fall. on the horizon was a glimmer of hope. some call it the shining city on the hill. we all know it to be america. and america became their home. this is my story. my family's story. one of millions that make up the asian american experience here in our nation. we are living the american dream. may is right around the corner. and with it, so is asian american pacific islander heritage month and awareness. the awareness part is important. as an asian american small business owner here, in georgia, and america, this pandemic has hit arkham unity hard. -- hit our community card. we opened up in january of 2020 right before the pandemic. it's been tough on us. but we've made it through, but we didn't do it alone with our own ha

concepts, the new tools, the new sense of urgency we will need to combat it, whether in cuba or south vietnamand we dare not fail to realize that this struggle is taking place every day, without fanfare, in thousands of villages and markets, day and night, and in classrooms all over the globe. the message of cuba, of laos, of the rising din of communist voices in asia and latin america --these messages are all the same. the complacent, the self-indulgent, the soft societies are about to be swept away with the debris of history. only the strong, only the industrious, only the determined, only the courageous, only the visionary who determine the real nature of our struggle can possibly survive. , no greater task faces this country or this administration. no other challenge is more deserving of our every effort and energy. too long we have fixed our eyes on traditional military needs, on armies prepared to cross borders, on missiles poised for flight. now it should be clear that this is no longer enough -- that our security may be lost piece by piece, country by country, without the firing of a

and north vietnamese forces took over saigon the capital of south vietnam.urse, the taliban of course control now at least 50% of afghanistan, the rest of the country is under the control of officially 300,000 afghan soldiers and police, but the real number of troops is perhaps much lower because of desertion and what are called ghost soldiers, in other words, soldiers who are on the books as receiving a salary, but oftentimes the officers of their units are pocketing those salaries. the afghan security forces according to a talley kept by "the new york times" are currently losing 270 troops every month as a result of taliban attacks. as far as the taliban go, this is a victory. this is their victory over the united states and they've made it clear that their goal is to eventually reestablish the islamic emirate of afghanistan. according to the agreement that was worked out with the united states, the only thing the taliban are really committed to doing is not using afghanistan as a base for attacks against the u.s. and severing ties with al qaeda. >>> the 2

it had displaced by 1971 approximately 6 million refugees in south vietnam and 700,000 refugees in laos. later in the fall of saigon in the spring of 1975, the withdrawal of american military forces caused another outpouring of refugees. in response to this crisis, president gerald ford gave the green light to admit 200,000 vietnamese refugees. some of them were evacuated through the help of american military forces. others fled on their own and were taken into protective custody by the united states. these vietnamese refugees in 1975 were placed in several military-run refugee camps on military bases here in the united states. and they stayed there until sponsors could assist their resettlement to elsewhere. now, as 1976 began, americans thought they were done with the refugee crisis. they had handled those couple hundred thousand refugees who went to those military-run refugee camps. but the crisis was only beginning to heat up at this point. violence and political conflict in southeast asia continued to escalate and spur new migrations. for example, in cambodia, the vietnamese invasi

final withdrawal from south vietnam. you will go home in groups. so, we figured it out. okay, we're not the early group. we're not the middle group. we're probably later. and that was correct. john mccain, who had been captured 11 days before me, we had been in the same camp a couple times but we had never seen each other face to face. we knew each other was in there. we memorized names. he was famous because his dad was an admiral. i knew about john mccain. i meet him face to face. he can hard by walk, he had broken legs, broken arms, and he had a great sense of humor. we were out walking in the courtyard. interestingly enough because of our -- over the years we never wanted to get too high emotionally and be disappointed because we weren't going to go home. initially i could handle six months. i said, i'm going to go home for the july mexico olympics. that's going to be my celebration. well, july of '68 i was still there. i said, i can make it one more year. '69, the you remember of '69 i'll be home because lbj will -- the war is going to end. we're going to go home. n

i had others in south vietnam for the marine corps, and those were really good missions and we enjoyed those. most of our missions were on the ho chi minh trail. we would fly there day and night, three shifts a day, and we would rotate two weeks on the first shift, three weeks on the second shift afternoon and early evening and two weeks on the late night shift, and then we would rotate to the next shift. so we had airplanes ready to fly and in the air flying missions 24 hours a day flying the ho chi minh trail, and the goal was to stop supplies from the army to the south. we bought watches over there because you could buy them for 11.95. it had the day of the week on it. sunday the day was red. that's how we knew it was sunday because seven days a week was always the same. time passed fairly quickly. i had been there a couple months, two and a half months, and so they said, hey, would you like to go to tinan air base and pick up an f-4 and bring it back here. we have an inspect and repair facility in tinan down in the island of taiwan. you'll go from here to the philippines and then f

a lot of support in the country, the taliban is not that popular and most importantly, unlike south vietnaminue to give us aid, and continue to give us intelligence support. so he seemed pretty confident that the kabul government could hold. you seem more skeptical. >> i think if we do maintain that support, the kabul government can hold because people don't want to return to the taliban. think about what happened in afghanistan since 2001. this is another part of the story that i wish would receive more coverage. afghanistan has transformed since 2001. kabul has grown by orders of magnitude. in a country where maybe there were just a few phones because communication was so limited, everybody has a cell phone. it is the most open society in terms of freedom of the press and freedom of expression. now, of course, the taliban hates this idea. this is why they're murdering journalists and attacked the american university of afghanistan and gunned down young men and women who were trying to build a better future for their country. so of course they deserve our support. if we provide that suppor
