Ms. Chong is indeed correct that Oliver Lee and his followers were vindicated-- vindicated, but sadly at the loss of so much life by both the Vietnamese and US and allied troops. There is an excellent book on what happened after the fall of South Vietnam to the rule of the Viet Cong about specific Vietnamese during the war and after the war. One story was about how people who fled the war and settled in the US, but many returned including a man who returned to head the Vietnamese office of Federal Express. And the story of the Vietnamese pilot who was trained in Texas and fought against the Viet Cong, but ended up strafing the South Vietnamese "White House". He became the head of the Vietnamese Airline. Today many US tourists go to Hanoi and what was once Saigon and now "Ho Chih Minh City".
