I don't if you knew I went back after most troops pulled out.
No - I didn’t know that part.
Being in MACV, the ARVNs and other South VietNamese I came
in contact with were of a slightly more “motivated” variety.
I left in April ‘71 and at that point in time, we saw
ourselves as “winning” as did most of the ARNVs I knew.
I spent the following couple of years drunk and angry at
what I saw being portrayed on American TV, as opposed to
what I knew as a reality.
This begat an everlasting distrust/mistrust of Legacy Media
which I am only seeing recently is being shared by the
populace in general. (And this Burns film is that very
mendacious attitude persisting to this day.)
I only pray their awakening is not too late.
