13 Yrs old, South Vietnamese. As I watched this video, I felt like crying. My grandpa is Lt. Doan of the SVA, He lost one of his balls during the war. He told me a few stories of the war. Every day I wear a Pin of the South Vietnamese flag to school and every time I meet My Grandpa I give him a Salute and always shook his hand. He's still alive. When I go to the U.S army, I'm going to Serve for My country and represent Myself as a South Vietnamese-American Soldier. Edit 3/23/2021: Lieutenant. Doan passed away at the age of 87 in June 2019. R.I.P - Thank you to all who showed interest. My goal to serve this nation's Army still stands!

They had lost their dignity , their homes , their families , their friends and most important of all their beloved country which they have defended valiantly against the tirade of invading communist forces only to be abandoned by their trusted friend and ally , the American government led Gerald Ford . The loss of dignity continued when the American Congress led by the so called anti war & peace loving Democrats (aka Joe Biden) tried to block the acceptance of the 200 000 refugees who recently lost their families and their homeland

People try to apologize for the communists today. Maybe there's some truth to what they say, but that doesn't change the fact that these people fought and died for their country, a country they loved. It wasn't perfect, but it was _theirs._ The fact that American politicians played politics with Vietnam is pathetic and inexcusable, and our refusal to fight the war right cost these people their home. The fact that the communists didn't recognize that, for all their talk of freedom, _they weren't wanted,_ is just as cruel.

0:58 One true fact of South Vietnam's anthem("Tiếng Gọi Công Dân", composed in 1948) is that it was a fake copycat version of the song (Thanh Niên Hành Khúc, composed in 1939) composed by Lưu Hữu Phước, which he composed and support for North Vietnam. The author Lưu Hữu Phước was extremely protest the action that South Vietnamese government take it and fake it into their anthem, but he cannot change anything. Later on, he joined the Liberation Front and compose more songs that encourage Vietnam citizens to against the US and its puppet Saigon government.

America tried. It poured billions of dollars into South Vietnam and thousands of lives were lost trying to keep the government afloat and Communists contained. But the links between the French colonisers, the Catholic Mafia and the ethnically Han business elite in the South were just too much for the Americans to confront. Vietnam wanted to be one country. The Northern peasants wanted it more than the Southern merchants. The good news was that Western involvement delayed the communist takeover in Vietnam long enough that the Communists didn't go full Maoist/ North Korea. While there were horrible reprisals after the fall of Saigon - Vietnam did not become North Korea. They also got rid of the Khmer Rouge - which was to their credit. They are now a surprising Western ally that is getting rich off involvement in international markets. Eventually it will get so rich that the middle classes will demand decision making power. Just like Taiwan, South Korea and the Philippines.

As a people of the ASEAN country i am deeply concern that this terrible event in our history, would be repeated once again, were the political interest was simply emege over the fate of the war battered nation.

When the French defeated and left Vietnam in 1954. The country divided into two partition states: North Vietnam is the communist and the South is Republic under Democracy government. So, let both side of Vietnam run their countries the way they want. The American participated in to assist by providing aids to South Vietnam to fight back the International Communist (that is Soviet Union and China). So, the US helped South Vietnam so long until 1973 and declared to withdraw cutting significant aids to South Vietnam. The let South Vietnam fight alone against North Vietnam (North Vietnam with the helps from Soviet and China)...and so those nations (US, Australia, Korea, Philippines, Thailand and the whole West) under Democracy running away. Sounds great, huh? Ultimately, the citizens of the Republic of South Vietnam collapsed and its people stranded and faced the consequences of all cost: jails, rapes, rootings, refugees, death, poor, loss....You name it. Why the West entered the war rather let South Vietnam taking care of their country from the beginning, so they didn't depend on the West? You promised and ran away from this war.

Not every one of Vietnamese descent has the last name of Nguyen. Nguyen is the most common last name in Vietnam as it was the last Vietnamese Dynasty to exist. (143 years of existence) There are still last names like; Vo, Ngo, Tram, Pham, Huynh, etc. Fun Fact : Huynh last name origins aren't Vietnamese, they're Chinese. The Huynh Dynasty never existed as the Huynh last names originate from the Chinese Huang Dynasty. The reason as to why they changed the name from Huang to Huynh was because of Vietnamese Taboo which forbids Chinese Last Names. The reason why Huynh even exists in the first place is that during the 1920s/30s many Chinese fled to Vietnam due to the CCP and RoC conflicts in China. (this is how my Grandfather came to Vietnam) I hope this answers your question!

It was true indeed, but only for 10%-20% of the population in South Vietnam! For the tiny anti-communist minority, wasn´t it? The big majority of the South Vietnamese welcomed and greeted warmly the arriving liberators (Việt Cộngs and Bộ Độis), laughing, shouting and jumping out of joy - like in Paris on the Liberation Day! It was the second time in my life I saw the civilian population cheered soldiers in Saigon. The 1st time was on the 2nd November 1963 after the announcement of the death of the brothers Diệm-Nhu: the pagodas of the Buddhists were loud and overcrowded, the churches of the Catholics silent and empty - the Buddhists were overjoyed, the catholics somehow sad! The 2nd time was on the 30th April 1975 after the surrender announced by General Nhựt . Again the people in Saigon were divided and polarized: loud over-happiness and joyful shooting in the air with the abandoned M16s - but mainly in the poorer areas or slums and mainly by the poor and by young men and women; it was silent and grim in the catholic areas or in the richer areas (mostly in the residential ones with many beautiful french villas). The ARVN soldiers were loved in the first event after the succesful coup-d´état against the dictator and despote Diệm , the Liberation Army soldiers in the second event when Saigon was liberated!
