The Vietnamese lived in brutal poverty for decades after the Americans withdrew. Millions of South Vietnamese were slaughtered under communist rule. The withdrawal also paved the way for the khmer rouge to slaughter a third of the Cambodian population.
All said and done it's estimated 7.5 million people died as a result of that withdrawal. A lot can be accredited to the new found moral manipulation of media.
Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture.
And sometimes the path to hell is paved in good intentions.

Millions of Southern Vietnamese were not slaughtered under communist rule - that is straight up bullshit.
Were thousands sent to re-education camps and mistreated? Yes. My grandfather was one, he was a ranking member of the Southern Vietnamese army and spent years in a re-education camp.
It's funny you mention the Khmer Rouge, do you know which country and government overthrew them and liberated Cambodia? The communist government of Vietnam.
Do you know which country went to the UN and ordered sanctions against Vietnam for doing so? The United States of America.
Watch the video below and try to take a guess if the Vietnamese people wanted the Americans to stay. Read less of r/the_donald, educate yourself and stop spouting nonsense.
