TMc: Vietnam's Forgotten ARVN Soldiers | Eastern NC Now

    The Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) surrendered in 1975 ending foreign domination started by the French in 1861. Many Vietnamese were converted Catholics and sympathizers. Loyalties were divided after 110 years of occupation.

    North Vietnam and South Vietnam armies practiced the Asian style of conflict producing photos and videos that are unpleasant. There was no "forgive and forget" policy after the war. Re-education camps were set up to realign attitudes of the conquered.

    480,000 Vietnamese immigrated to the United States; 210,000 to other countries. I am sure in-depth research will find numerous books by South Vietnamese authors detailing the history of Vietnam 1975 to present.

    Conclusion: It difficult to conclude a war. Vietnam will not end for U.S. VN vets for a lifetime and the recorded events will be studied by Military and Political Science students forever.
