sorry about that i got my years mixed up a bit with the bombing, but I'm fairly certain my point still stands about defunding the ARVN.
It's a legitimate point, but I think the general trend in Congress in the early 1970s points towards defunding (I'm fairly certain aid wasn't supposed to be completely stopped after 1975, but I may have mixed up the dates too). Once I finish the first section of the TL (1976-1980) and collect it, I'll consider adding your recommendations on the Third Indochina War. It's an interesting wrinkle.
