[...] 1975 [...] *	April 30 -At 4:03 a.m., two U.S.
Marines are killed in a rocket attack at Saigon's Tan
Son Nhut airport. They are the last Americans to die
in the Vietnam War. At dawn, the last Marines of the
force guarding the U.S. embassy lift off. Only hours
later, looters ransack the embassy, and North
Vietnamese tanks role into Saigon, ending the
war.[...]

Talk about a waste, to die defending war criminals who
are abandoning the country they fucked up in the first
place. 

-Doug

P.S. I'd be interested to hear fq try to explain why 
the Vietnam War was a good thing.
