Slick thread derail attempt. Multiple levels of dismissal resistance. You're a pro.
Well, I was a pro, but I am retired now. I thought Nam would have been a good assignment, except there was a war going on. I went to Vung Tau once. We heard the VC took R & R there, but if they did, we never knew for sure. Other than that, the VC were not nice people. In fact, I would suspect the vast majority of them were vicious killers, and traitors, who were more than happy to slit throats from ear to ear. I hope you did not have to go there.
