If you want the full story on the Vietnam War and how certain Washington politicians, mostly Democrats, sabotaged the war effort and handed victory to the Communists, read Leonard Scruggs' book Lessons from the Vietnam War: Truths the Media Never Told You (Warren Publishing, 2009). Scruggs was a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer in Vietnam. His book is one of the best refutations of the standard liberal myths about the war, such as the myths repeated by the likes of Ken Burns and John Paul Vann, among many others.
Here are some good online articles on the Left's betrayal of America in the Vietnam War:

Here's a good five-minute video that summarizes the betrayal that led to South Vietnam's defeat:
The Truth about the Vietnam War
Here's a good documentary, made in 1984 and narrated by Charlton Heston, Television's Vietnam: The Real Story, that, among other things, responds to PBS's slated documentary on the war and also discusses how anti-war and immoral politicians, mostly Democrats, sabotaged the war effort:
Please, the war was hopeless from the start because it was NOT a war. It was a local civil uprising and some here were making lots of money off it.
mmm... no. It was a war. And honestly, it wasn't a local civil uprising. Unless you would consider a small group of US citizens, joining a Mexican armed militia group, backed by Russia, to slaughter US citizens in hopes that Mexico will take over the US... to be a local civil uprising...
Ho had also been inviting Viet Minh leaders to see him in Red China, then ratting out those who weren't loyall to him and the Communists to the French intelligence as they crossed back over the border, and putting his own men in charge. that doesn't qualify as 'locals' either.
They were right-Mexico DID take over the US
