The United States heard the outcry from the citizens and found it in their best interest to cut their losses and admit defeat. Such an admission of defeat came in the form of a peace treaty with the North Vietnamese. This treaty, however, came with the condition of a full American retreat but a continued…

to worry about, the current situation with North Korea is alarming meaning that we could be gone in minutes. Threating the United States with a missile to the west coast (California) is not something to play around with.
