I was there...one of the biggest cluster F**ks i have ever been involved with. As a junior U.S. Naval Aviator was tasked with building a tent city for 50,000 "refugees". After erecting the tents was shuffled off to a secluded camp where the U.S. Navy promptly forgot about me. There were no telephones & so I was essentially stranded. Ended up living with the Vietnamese & eating raw eggs, fish heads, rice & stinky fish sauce. Came to love the Vietnamese  people. It was terrible what we did to them and these were the lucky ones who escaped.
