Photo Explanation• On the left: It was ironic that the picture that symbolized the American defeat in

Vietnam was taken by a Dutchman, Hubert van Es. The picture showed chaos and panic among many South Vietnamese who were in the employ of the Americans. They are desperately trying to secure a seat on one of the last American helicopters shuttling between Saigon rooftops and US navy ships off the coast of Vietnam ahead of the arrival of the communist North-Vietnamese troops. The ladder leading up to the roof already has more people on it that can fit on the helicopter. However, the helipad was not, UPI’s Tokyo bureau wrongly attributed, on the roof of the US embassy. It was on the Pittman apartment complex which housed the CIA. The helicopters belonged to Air America, a

CIA cover organization. • On the right: U.S. Marine helicopter crewmen carry Vietnamese

civilians to safety aboard the U.S.S. Blue Ridge April 29, 1975, after their evacuation helicopter crashed on the deck of the amphibious command ship. The helicopter had evacuated the civilians from Saigon, as communist forces began taking over the city. (AP Photo)

Explanation• In the 1970’s, the US turned more of the war over to South Vietnam’s army.

This plan was called “Vietnamization.” But as this cartoon suggests, the South Vietnamese army was unable to frighten or stop the North Vietnamese. North Vietnam took over South Vietnam in 1975.

• After the Tet Offensive in 1968, President Johnson stopped sending more troops to Vietnam. And in 1969, President Nixon began to bring US soldiers home. His plan was to strengthen South Vietnam’s army and turn the ground fighting over to it-while still using US planes to bomb North Vietnam’s bases and supply lines. This plan was called “Vietnamization.” But South Vietnam’s Army, the ARVN, never fought well against North Vietnam. Some said that ARVN soldiers didn’t really support their government or want to fight for it. This cartoon shows ARVN as a scarecrow unable to frighten anyone. And in fact, in 1975, just two years after the last US soldier left Vietnam, North Vietnam did conquer all of South Vietnam.
