Unfounded Comparisons

Efforts have been made to compare the evacuation of the US Embassy in Kabul, in 2021, with the evacuation of the US Embassy in Saigon, in 1975. This is a false equivalence There are notable differences. Kabul is in Afghanistan and Saigon is in Viet Nam. Not the same. Afghanistan begins with the letter “A”, the beginning of the alphabet, and Viet Nam begins with the letter “V” found near the end of the alphabet. Not the same. Finally the North Vietnamese Army and the administration under Gerald Ford were adversaries. In Afghanistan, the Biden administration and Taliban are allies.

Which one of these things are not like the other?
