[Criminal Number 18F]

The last combat Marines left in May of 1971 on troop transport (LPD-9)

Betcha none of them refused to board!

Actually I have a book, Marines and Military Law in Vietnam. It recounts the interesting legal cases and the misconduct that some Marines got up to (in any organisation with tens and hundreds of thousands of people in it, you are going to get a few bad apples). There is nothing in the history you could remotely call a "mutiny." Even the Army didn't mutiny. The USAF had a race riot, but it was in Guam.

d.o.l.

I missed the ship by a week. I flew out 1 week before my unit cased the colors.

You're right re: troop ships TO Nam. By the 70's, we were flown over. Rumor had it that LBJ's wife owned the airlines that flew most of us over. (Seaboard ?).
and by the time I left, most were also flying back.

A few with Vietnamese wives, who deserted. Some resided in Saigon's Cholon distrrict. I've heard numbers estimated [all services] from a couple of dozen to a hundred-plus.

On 30 April, 1975 when the North Vietnamese took over, at least some suicided. They knew what was coming.
