(I just missed being there by 1 year, and had many friends on both sides of the fence). But I'm only posting here to answer Ken's scornful spurning of the Domino Theory: as much as I hate to admit that the crowd that ran that war were right about anything, in this, they were right. Look at what happened in surrounding countries after the collapse of Saigon... I just wish we (the USA) could have found some acceptable way to be on the same side as Ho Chi Minh.
