They were defeated,it is claimed-two years after their withdrawal fromVietnam.The ignominious collapse of the South Vietnamese,when left on their own,is being acclaimed as an American military failure.  \nThere is no doubt that America's entire involvement in Vietnam is a failure un-worthy of a great power.It is a moral failure,a diplomatic failure,a politicalfailure,a philosophical failure -the failure of American politicians and of theirintellectual advisers.  But to regard it as a military failure is worse than outra-geous,when you consider the heroic performance of Americans in a war they shouldnever have had to fight.  If there are men or groups with a vested interest in creat-ing an impression of America's military weakness,use your own judgment as to theirnature and goals.  \nNow observe the moral bankruptcy of the \"humanitarians.\"After decades of everlouder protestations of compassionate concern with every possible form of suffering -the suffering of the poor,the young,the old,the female,the black,the brown,theIndian,the sick,the weak,the illiterate,the retarded,the criminal,the psychotic-after such a barrage of pleas and threats,of saccharine and blood,that one couldbe tempted,in protest,to hate babies and kittens,the altruists have suddenly shutup before an unprecedented atrocity of historic scale:the murder of a city,the evac-uation of Phnom Penh.  \nA horde of savages that would make Attila look civilized by comparison,has giventhe world a perfect concretization of three abstractions,which civilized men have takenwith too foggy a tolerance:collectivism,which regards individual lives as of no value-the rule of force,which implements the whims of the subhuman -ecology as a socialprinciple,which condemns cities,culture,industry,technology,the intellect,and ad-vocates men's return to \"nature,\"to the state of grunting subanimals digging the soilwith their bare hands.  \nSince the Khmer Rouge are peasants who feel hatred for cities,the inhabitantsof Phnom Penh -its entire population without exceptions -were ordered to march outof the city and to go on marching until they reached uninhabited countryside,where  \nthey were to start farming on their own,without knowledge,tools or seed.This orderapplied to everyone:young and old,rich and poor,men,women and children,the well andthe ill,even the crippled and,according to a news report,even the hospital patientswho had just had their legs amputated.  Everyone was ordered to walk.  They walked.  \nThis is all we know.There have been no further reports on the fate of that evac-uation.After a few shocked remarks,there were no protests from our media or from thoseliberal altruists who cry over the victims of\"relative poverty\"in America.  The liber-als had been minimizing or ridiculing the conservatives'fear that a \"blood bath\"wouldfollow a communist victory.If human suffering concerned them at all,one would expectthe altruists to scream their heads off against an atrocity which is worse than a bloodbath:a mass execution by long-drawn-out torture.  But the altruists have shut theirtraps.so have the altruists of Europe.There has been no significant protest from thehundreds of world organizations devoted to the relief of suffering,including that con-temptible citadel of global hypocrisy,the U.N.  \nThe best commentary on Phnom Penh,of those I have read,was \"Get Out of Town\"byWilliam Safire,a conservative(The New York Times,May 12,1975).  \"In all hum","cbCaijOt2X8KS6Cd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijOt2X8KS6Cd","pdf",2096694,"English","# THE LESSONS OF VIETNAM\n## Part II\n## Frame-up against U.S. military power\n## Moral bankruptcy of the “humanitarians”\n## Phnom Penh evacuation and its aftermath\n## Mayaguez incident and the duty to respond","[{\"question\":\"Why does the text reject the idea that Vietnam was a purely military failure?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that America’s entire involvement is a broader moral, diplomatic, political, and philosophical failure, and that calling it merely military failure is worse because Americans performed heroically in a war they should never have had to fight.\"},{\"question\":\"What atrocity does the text focus on as an example of moral silence?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights the murder and evacuation of Phnom Penh, describing it as an unprecedented atrocity that drew shutdown reactions rather than protest from media and liberal organizations.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text describe the Khmer Rouge’s policies toward Phnom Penh residents?\",\"answer\":\"It states that residents of Phnom Penh—its entire population without exceptions—were ordered out of the city to march to uninhabited countryside to farm without knowledge, tools, or seed.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the text’s justification for responding to the Mayaguez incident with force?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that when a foreign country initiates armed force against the United States, there is a moral obligation to answer by force promptly and unequivocally so it is clear the matter is non-negotiable.\"}]","THE LESSONS OF VIETNAM - Part II - Observe the frame-up staged against America's military power | PDF",1790673386]
