Describe the significance of the fall of saigon?

Answer 1

It was the ONLY non-controversial part of the whole war!

Example(s):

1. No one knows when the war started (a debatable topic)

2. No one knows who lost the war (it's a debatable topic)

3. No one knows the most accurate casualties from each nation participant

4. Figures vary greatly on helicopter and jet aircraft losses

5. US Navy denies that North Vietnamese Helicopters sank a USN Swift Boat in 1968

6. US Air Force denies a North Vietnamese Air Force (MiG-21) shot down a B-52 on 26 December 1972.

7. No one knows that a NVAF MiG-17 dropped a bomb on the destroyer USS Higbee destroying it's 5 inch after mount.

But no one can argue or debate about the fall of Saigon on 30 April '75.
