Hi! Alexander,

On 25 Oct 19 10:16, you wrote to me:

Yes.  In a lot of cases the North Vienamese Army (NVA) and Vietcong (VC) were 
within 10 kilmeters from evacuation places.  My boyhood memories of the time 
include television video of frantic off-loading of helicopters onto aircraft 
carriers, and then having the helos dumped over the side of the ship.

I vividly recall vision of a western journalist covering the NVA/VC infantry & 
tanks, storming either the US Embassy compound or the South Vietnam government 
compound.  It was a hellish.

I'm sure that this was something that this later journo was trying to help call 
on, by way of sympathetic comparison.

Cheers,
Paul.

.... I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
