All this time , I thought it was the South Vietnamese that was corrupt and incompetent . But after I learned recently that it was the Americans that deliberately stop sending arms to Viet Nam after the Paris Peace Accord of 1973 , I was , and still disillusionned on why they abandoned their ally to the Communist north Vietnamese arter all those years of fighting together , spilling their sweat , blood and guts against the Communist North Vietnamese and the rest of the communist hordes .
Had the Americans at least , continue to supply arms and fighter aircrafts spare parts to the South Vietnamese , or like the present situation in the North African country of Libya , providing covering airstrikes for the Libyan rebels in their fight against the Gaddhafi regime , who knows ? the soverign nation of the Free Republic Of Viet Nam might still exists today as we speak

……the second time….when the US Congress and Nixon and clan were the Vietnamization of ARVN in disguise for the withdrawal of US Forces and cut off military aid 100% …and handed South VIET NAM to the communists…We.the people of South VIET NAM had nothing to do with friends and foes….No wonder why we had to fight Red China,France,Japan,North Viet Nam communists and the USA..
.We had fought and we had won !….Imperialism(s)is a calamity to small countries….ARVN f o u g h t
…fought…and fought….and the US media which were a bunch of liars had not intented to report the thruth to the American public,not only on ARVN and but also not the truth on US and Allied troops…But we kept fighting…fighting and with heroism…For a small country like South VIET NAM and with a bloody ennemy like communist from North Viet Nam and a friend like the US who first came voluntary in 1965 but were the first to run in 1973….we…the great ARVN….the mighty ARVN
….had succeded to become a giant by ourselves…And we had heroes !…the ARVN heroes !….From Soldiers to Officers to Generals.. that is the way…. and that was why we had fought foes and friends….Friends and foes had started a war in VIET NAM….and we had ended in glory….Like it or not…the ARVN and South Vietnamese people fought… blood spilled and lives lost…No award needed…Because we had become heroes ourselves….The South Vietnamese heroes are for the Free South Vietnamese ….just like our ancestors from dynasties did…. and for all Free Vietnamese Communities living overseas…from the land of the Eagles to the sho-
res of Australia…to the artic in Canada..to the land of the Eiffel Tower..to the land of the Rising Sun…to mighty Seoul…back to Europe in Brussels..Copenhagen..London…Munich…Berlin…Taipei..Manila..

Belatedly, I came across the "Vietnam" article about General Ngo Quang Truong just today, 01/12/2011. Of course, General Truong was a well qualified ARVN hero as stated and I've had the pleasure and honor of meeting and visiting with him and his wife in San Francisco in 1990. After that visit, Truong sent me a copy of 4-star General Norman Schwarzkopf's letter to him dated 26 February 1991, after Operation Desert Storm, that I would like to quote verbatim below:
"Dear General Truong,
"Thank you for your note. It makes me very proud that you are proud of me because you are one of my greatest teachers. Many of the strategies that I use everyday on this battlefield in the Middle East are things that you taught me so well 25 years ago when we were comrades at arms in Vietnam.
"It has always brought joy to me to know that you were able to escape to the United States, even though to this day one of the darkest days of my life was when your great country was overrun by the enemies from the north. Nevertheless, some of the proudest memories of my entire Army career have been, and always will be, those days when you and I fought side by side for the cause of Freedom.
"I hope that when this war is over we will have an opportunity to see each other some time.
"Sincerely, (signed) H. Norman Schwarzkopf, General, U.S. Army"
I told my friend General Truong that I could not control my tears after reading that heart-felt letter from a former American comrade-in-arms and co-warrior.

There is no denial General Truong was one of the best, but then let's not forget that without over 50,000 young American GIs lives wasted, South VietNam wouldn't have lasted that long, not even until 1975. I myself had the privilege of fighting along side with these people and can't really say enough about their sacrifice, their bravery. So, thank you, VietNam Vets, whoever and wherever you are. Personnaly, I feel indepted to you and your family for ever…

I want to push aside all the differences in opinion and feelings between people about this war and to note that, I love and honour those American soldiers as much I do to those South Vietnamese soldiers during that war. I grew up in that war and somehow I have come to love Americans as a part of my life…

Former Lieutenant General Ngo Quang Chief died in Virginia, southern East United States, three years after the war fight with lung cancer, aged 78 enjoy life. Soldiers in my life career, he assumes responsibility for command from high level captain, great captain, battalion chief, then chief of staff parachuting Lien Doan; before his infantry to hold the important positions such as From The first command Su Doan Binh, Commander of Military Region 4 Ðoàn 4 and strategy, then Commander of Military Region 1 and one Ðoàn strategies.

Special point where the general account that is outside of his soldiers, militia, officials of the Republic of Vietnam who also reminded to clean living his own bar. Also no one forget lifestyle preserve military discipline very strictly, but always full of loving-kindness expressed with the army and people. People close to General Ngo Quang General Manager referred to his suffering on the other hand, look to see enough of his design of a soul, a life of integrity that he has preserved square youth, in military time contingent, until the exile in the land. We can write a very thick book of anecdotes surrounding him and a general portrait of a strong general can be told to clean one of the few general leading the Army of the territory the Republic of Vietnam . In the military and in public opinion of them South Vietnam, people are a transmission rate of the general questions honest, "Best Thang (Nguyen Duc Thang), Second Primary (Phan Trong Chinh), Tam Thanh (Nguyen bar) from the head (Ngo Quang Manager). The four "general clean" the report stated name is Hawk, General Nguyen Viet Thanh died, and his three other lives "secluded," held a revered noble attitude during the years in exile. Soldiers in the life industry, General Phan Trong Chinh had attended since 1960 coup, General Nguyen Duc Thang also been involved as the government ministers, only Mr. Ngo Quang Manager is a general pure, just all the adult life for the military. He is also a general standing political disputes. And that is what makes him a child army just respect, he has felt close
But everyone knows, the events April 30, 1975, history turned toward others. Are for general territory for talented people to be retired from this noble weapons, accept to live his life in exile. But in the circumstances, he remained true from the high bar in a quiet life. So far, sure he was freed without bringing their aggregate inch heart u down tuy?n stations.
I only know about General Ngo Quang head a little so; to admire his heart
report on the military victory that the Army units under the Republic of Vietnam of things he achieved. You know more than you would contribute additional materials, so that we together low a general guide memorial called the worth of his large army is. After the events April 30, 1975, there are many different way of looking at him, including questions, assumption about the time the last minute he commanded during the withdrawal of the mess. I never heard him on the free distribution of hearing questions and incorrect assumptions that, in the heart just more respect. But even more ways to what we can not deny he was one of the few general territory dedicated contributions of many workers in the construction of spiritual forces of the Republic of Vietnam, not only was he who command but also in life who just heard his name, served in other units. Lifelong career soldiers, the medal for his name and carried on the person are changed by blood and sweat, with patriotism, the love of his army.

Old people said, can not bring success or failure that comment heroes. If the success or failure to mention the protection of historical, as Mai Thuc Loan, Tran Quang Dieu in our country or Quan Wu, Yue Fei in the Chinese have been failures. We now know just when people referred to General Ngo Quang head is bent in memory of a revered beliefs.

This general people and the army respected the South was the most endearing of natural stock. He lost, but fame will never be deleted in the small army of the Republic of Vietnam.
