In Viet Nam you would be surprised at the attitudes of the old VCs you might meet. I heard things like,"Why did you leave us with these people?" " Why did you leave? we couldn't fight you." "I came from a rice village in the north and knew nothing. I fought the evil foreigner for 10 years before I learned I was fighting on the side of the real foreigners against our people." in Viet Nam "Vi Si" (VeeCee) is the universal word for government people.It is spoken with some bitterness. The Vietnamese, like the Koreans, are genetically small businessmen and have a natural affinity for America and Americans.

I've heard from reputable sources that following the Fall of Saigon and the flight of Thieu, that the remaining Viet Cong were rounded up, disarmed and sent to reeducation camps along with the rest of the general population in SVN. The Lao Dong party ordered the NVA to neutralize the VC as a preventative measure stifling dissent, armed dissent.

With 'giac My' gone, the Lao Dong hedged their position.
