Welcome to Contemporary American history, I'm
Professor Turgison. And a lot of people think history
is just facts, a lot of information about the past.
But not me, I hold history very sacred, sacred, the way
the framer holds up the dirt like it was sacred.
The way a Christian takes the Bible and holds it sacred.
The way a lot of people hold their marriage sacred.
That's the way I feel about it.
So why don't we jump dive in by interpreting in of the easiest
events in the last 20 years of American history.
Q: Why in 1975 we pulled out troops out of Vietnam?
A: The failure of Vietnamization to win popular support
caused on ongoing erosion of confidence in the various
American, but illegal, Saigon regimes.
Is she right? Because I know that was the popular version
of what went on there. And a lot of people like to believe
that. I wish I could BUT I WAS THERE. I wasn't here
in the classroom hoping I was right, thinking about it.
I was up to my KNEES in RICE PATTIES with GUNS
and we're going up against Charlie slamming it out with him
