Since my last visit I found all your new posts fascinating. Since most of my relative and friends who returned from Vietnam seemed to be of the opinion they were "betrayed" and more bombing would have helped the situation, I wonder how you arrived at your conclusions about the wife. I did have one cousin though, who was in Saigon as a non military capacity as a civil engineer who told me his employer couldn't get any accomplished without paying bribes. And that the Buddhist majority regarded the Americans as successors to the colonial French. A post on this question would be appreciated or alternatively I can be reached at raypotthoff@centurytel.net
