Knew a guy that was there around that time frame, down in the Nha Trang/Cam Ranh area prior to the US congress pulling support for the Thieu gov't which led to the downfall.
He was honest about being there after the 'hot war' and said the area was pacified....business as usual. He had a hard time dealing with the sudden downfall of the SVN republic. But then, most troops weren't privy to the workings in Foggy Bottom there.
Wasn't published in Stars and Stripes.

Just what I read and I yield to boots there for clarity yet polidiots lost that war IMO. GI’s won it everyday they were allowed to !
I am forever grateful to those that gave their youth, their health, their lives and their families , friends and others that supported em ......yesterday, today and tomorrow.
