Here is an interesting video shown on 60 Minutes, several years ago. It features Frank Snepp, CIA Vietnam analyst, who spent 1970 to the final pullout in 1975, in Vietnam. He relates just how the CIA and politicians betrayed our Vietnamese friends who had helped us. Snepp got into some serious trouble with the CIA when he wrote and had published without CIA clearance, Decent Interval, his experiences in Vietnam and just how incompetent and devious the CIA was there.

When I lived in Los Angeles, I met Snepp and spoke with him about how the CIA demands any member or former member must get clearance for anything they write about anything the CIA does.

Kinda reminds me of the corruption today in high levels of the CIA as certain high level members have been involved in the coup against President Trump..
