Quantum of History

Episode 38 - Tomorrow Never Dies, Fall of Saigon


Listen Later

The news is filled with parallels between what's happening in Kabul, Afghanistan, and what happened in 1975 in Saigon, Vietnam.  In Tomorrow Never Dies James Bond executes a HALO jump and Jack Wade said the Vietnamese better not catch you wearing American gear.  This is only 20 years after the fall of Saigon and the memory of the war and of those events still lingered in the Vietnamese people's minds.  What exactly happened in Saigon and why is it being compared to what is going on right now in Kabul.  Myself and my guest Matt Perkins dive into that topic, give the history leading up to Saigon, and have a discussion about what all this means today.
