REP. RICH McCORMICK: This is one of the amazing things about President Trump -- you don't know what he's going to do. As you know, he's announced probably several plans BERMAN: We are quite aware that he's offered several plans. Sometimes they conflict each other

One would think Rep Rick McCormick (R-GA) would know better.

Looking at his impressive military and medical credentials, the American Sheeple will believe him.

"Charge!"

"One would think Rep Rick McCormick (R-GA) would know better"
You'd think, but, uh, no.
Go to the Wall, find some names of people you knew among that mountain of names ...
Then yip-yap about the "win."
Sorry, Congressman, we got our arses kicked.

Hi Doc Sarvis:

This "officer" sold his soul to the Republican Party and Dummkopf Trumpf, otherwise why would Rep Rick McCormick (R-GA) blatantly lie like this and want our brave young men and women to assault and seize Kharg Island where they will be exposed to daily drones, rockets, and missiles?

I just no longer give any of these elected officials the benefit of the doubt. So, let's call it out for what it is: Sociopathy, Coriolanus, sociopathy.

Indeed.

Sociopaths.

Really have to wonder just what it is Rick McCormick thinks the US "won" in Vietnam: en.wikipedia.org

One wonders if this veteran can look himself in the mirror when he shaves.

Some people are shameless, like vapid Empty Suit USSECSTATE Marco Rubella.

BTW: The song that AFRTS broadcast to "signal" US personnel to evacuate Saigon was "White Christmas," similar to the Russians that would air "Swan Lake" on the radio or TV as a "signal" or shibboleth.

The evacuation was a nightmare for many trying to get to their designated points or drive away.

The river was the best way to leave Saigon, but apparently many evacuees didn't consider it: virtual-saigon.net

Sociopathy, Coriolanus, sociopathy.

We were only following orders.

The confederacy won the civil war.

It just took 160 longer than anyone realized.

Trump, the heritage foundation and MAGA are the resurgence.

The word "years" is missing from my post.

Hasty editing chopped off too much.

Pretty sure they're going to get what happened to Atlanta, only worse this time.

He does.

He also knows that no one will ever call him out on it.

That is what trumpism has done to the United States.

We are a country that is too stupid to know a blatant lie like that and too timid to call it out when we do.

This nation is ------.

McDonald's won.

(As of early 2026, there are approximately 39 to 45 McDonald's locations in Vietnam).

As they say, war's good for business ... if you're in the right business.

Let's provide Rich McCormick with a learning opportunity. Stand him in front of one end of the Vietnam Wall, armed with a set of knee pads, clutching a bucket of sudsy water in one hand and a toothbrush in the other. He can clean each name on each panel. Top to bottom, all the way, looking up each name on his telephone and learning something about every one of them. When he's done, McCormick can return his equipment and report back on what - if anything - he learned.

Nothing in today's "modern" Republican Party is about preserving or protecting our Constitutional Republic and its Bill of Rights. They are a totally sold out gang of souls in it for the power and the money, and they clearly understand that the job of a "modern' republican is to be servile, to be in the control of the very rich and powerful, against the needs and rights of the very poor, who greatly outnumber the Musks of the world.

This is not from the "Print the legend" GOP version of History.

The Fall of Saigon (1975): The Bravery of American Diplomats and Refugees
diplomacy.state.gov

... On April 30, 1975, the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese Army, effectively ending the Vietnam War. In the days before, U.S. forces evacuated thousands of Americans and South Vietnamese. American diplomats were on the frontlines, organizing what would be the most ambitious helicopter evacuation in history.

The logistics of issuing visas and evacuating these Vietnamese and American citizens were not glamorous but were essential. American diplomats were behind every detail. Some diplomats showed exceptional bravery saving Vietnamese citizens who would have faced persecution under the new regime.

These artifacts and photos in our collection offer a glimpse of what diplomats and refugees experienced during the Fall of Saigon. ...

I remember watching the video on TV back in the day.

Vietnamese clinging to US helicopter landing gear to be taken out of Vietnam.
