What happened to Vietnam after the U.S. pulled out?
It was a %26quot;stalemate%26quot;. But after the U.S. got out of there under Nixon, the North took over the south and it has remained communist to this day.

The North took over the South and a reunited Viet Nam is now totally Communist. And our tanks are still sitting over there waiting on us to return.
Reply:the country collapsed and was taken over by the north. their was mass slaughter of the south Vietnamese who had ties to the Americans. lets just say everything hit the fan

Reply:After the troops left, ARVN held out surprisingly well. But that required continued logistic support from the US. After all, they were using M-16%26#039;s other US equipment. When Congress cut off all aid a couple of years later, they fell like a house of cards.


%26quot;They got to choose their own destiny%26quot; is a little disrespectful of the tens of thousands of teachers, doctors, and others who died as a result of the ensuing communist %26quot;re-education,%26quot; which often changed the mind by the introduction of a thirty caliber 123 grain bullet into the braincase.
Reply:When the south fell, the US imposed an embargo - which hurt everyone, north and south. The country was united.





As for the US sympathizers having been eliminated, I don%26#039;t believe that. I have a Vietnamese friend in the city of Phan Rang, Ninh Thuan Province. He was a captain in the South Vietnamese Army, and had lots of American friends. He is alive and well in communist Viet Nam. I have met other people who collaborated with the south / US, and somehow the purge missed them. Maybe the purge was a right-wing myth created for normal right-wing purposes? I also know of others who knew and worked with the Americans - and are still alive and well. I would like to see some references for sources, reliable sources on the right-wing allegations, facts rather than allegations.





There are a lot of details of the effects of the US-led embargo that people like to ignore.
