"An unforgettable photo from the roof of the United States Embassy in Vietnam.! After the United States was defeated by the Vietnamese fighters and the Americans defeated in Vietnam escaped, in addition to the Americans themselves fleeing desperate by the persecution of the Vietnamese, Vietnamese spies and traitors, they saw that there was no place to stay in their their own country, they took refuge in the United States Embassy together with the Americans. A helicopter arrived and landed on the roof of the United States Embassy. When the last American climbed the ladder, the first Vietnamese traitor had not yet set foot on the embassy roof when the Americans pushed the ladder so those traitors would be destroyed by their own people. ✍ The consequences of trusting America and betraying its compatriots are well represented in this historical photograph. _"
