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.
