Yea, you’re gonna want to look into the fall of Saigon. It isn’t like the US left once the side they were backing won. Nope, it was the opposite of that. It was a bit like what went down in Afghanistan, in fact.

After the fall, the sanctions came in and the country fell into a recession. There was no help from the outside and people started to leave. I'm one of those people that came from Vietnam during that time.

In fact, most of what you learn should come after you leave school.
