What's even more disgraceful is that those that opposed the war don't feel responsible for the slaughter that followed the abandonment of South Vietnam to the Communists.

I doubt that's a common position. If you recall the discussion before we went into Afghanistan and Iraq, there seemed to be a consensus that we shouldn't go in there and then not stick it out like we did in Vietnam. That came from both sides.

Of course, the two sides wanted to deal with it differently. Once side wanted to go in and stick it out and the other wanted to not go in in the first place given that we probably couldn't stick it out.

I'd be surprised if there were many people who didn't feel at least some remorse over the abandonment in Vietnam regardless of where they stood on the pull-out.
