Who was the last US soldier out of Saigon in 1975?

Some think it was MSG John Valdez.  Actually, while he may have officially been the last soldier out, there were US Diplomats behind him.  There may also still have been soldiers in Vietnam alive when he left.

Why don't you post your question on some Thai boards. I was stationed in  Asia in the 70's and my wife is from Khorat. My understanding is that the Records center had a major fire and lost alot of records in the late 60's. BTW my memory is of Khorat having USMC and AF. \n\nAlot of former military now live in Udon Thani, Nong Khai and Khorat. try your post on pattayasecrets.com or other Thai board were Americans and ex military post.

Hi, originally they went to Sweden, but later in greater numbers to Canada, or (much less often) Mexico.\n\nAlso, in response to an earlier post, Sir Elton John is British so he would never have been drafted by the U.S. into the Vietnam War. :)

How do you think the Vietnam war ended.

Yes, he was first reported to have died while in Afghanistan, serving as a U.S. Army Ranger, during an ambush. It was later rumored that he died from friendly fire, but I cannot confirm this.\n\nYes, he had a college degree, but he enlisted directly after 9/11 if he was to go to OCS (Officer Candidate School) then he would have been delayed almost a year from combat. Which answers your final question he wanted to fight and serve his country, it was his choice & his alone.

125,000 Vietnamese migrated to the U.S. in 1975 and by 1980, almost 250,000 had migrated to the U.S. beginning in 1978 (The second wave of Vietnamese refugees who left after the end of the Vietnam War).

uS involvement was form 1950-1975.  However the french were involved from 1945 and the First Indochina War went from 1946-54. the second indochina War (what americans call the vietnam war)went from 1955-1975. Escalation occured after the gulf of Tonkin resolution in 1964.

B Robert McNamara, then later promoted him to President of the World Bank to get rid of him. No longer liked his stance on Vietnam.

The USA is obsessed with the concept of world dominance. It has refused to  learn from history and its experience in Vietnam. It could not prevent Vietnam from being a communist  state. It had fueled Afghanistan crisis and now trying to dose it off. Withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan will not be that easy and the change of guard in White House will have least impact on taking such a decision.

I cannot recall "Peace with Honor".  However, a little over 58,000 American boys died needlessly in Vietnam over the years.  How  very sad indeed; all of those lives essentially wasted.  They could have married and become fathers and enjoyed life.

George W Bush\n\nHe "avoided" Vietnam by joining the National Guard.\n\n\nSo what? He didn't want his son to get killed in Vietnam, what father wouldn't use his influence to potentially save his son's life?\n\nIf you were able to do the same thing for your son, would you?

During the following 25-years the ensuing war would create some of the strongest tensions in US history. Almost 3 million US men and women were sent thousands of miles to fight for what was a questionable cause. In total, it is estimated that over 2,5 million people on both sides were killed.\n\nhttp://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/VietnamWar.htm\n\nADDITIONAL VIETNAM LINKS ON THE WEB\n\nhttp://www.multied.com/vietnam/Links.html\n\nAnti War Movement.\n\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/27942/indexf.htm\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

Draft dodgers?  I know of a very infamous wannabee leader of a nation who pulled all kinds of strings and family connections to avoid being sent to Vietnam.  What gets me is those so-called patriots who backed him up actually called a Vietnam veteran a traitor.  Calling glass Bushes...........come in......glass Bushes......
