My next door neighbor fought for the Viet cong for 3 days and decided these guys are crazy and went awol and joined the arvan where he taught Vietnamese to officers at FT. Benning. He is a great man and proud to have him as a friend. My old boss in Johnson city hated the communists so much that he blew up a police station in Hanoi and was on the run from the Nva and Viet cong for 3 months. He later joined the south Vietnamese marines and fought alongside Americans. When Saigon fell he stowed away in a cargo ship for 13 days with very little food and water. He started to drink his own urine and the next day he arrived in Boston. I eventually found out both of them knew one another. I was amazed at the odds of this ever happening. Both are great Americans with children and an amazing life.
