I’m thinking this old guy lost it
At a reeducation camp.
He had trained at Kessler AFB 1969
As a Radar Tech. for South Vietnam.
I trained for Radio Tech. same time
and place.He went back to Nam.
I went to March AFB.
He was arrested after the U.S. left
and Vietnam fell.3 yrs.in a camp.

Poor guy. Just one of millions we left to their fate when we left them.

When I went with BLT 1/3 at the last stages of the war in ‘75, we initially had orders to rescue 2 million Vietnamese but the combination of congressional obstruction and Ford’s indecision cut the evacuation to only 20,000.

A very sad chapter in our history.
