I remember the chaos of people leaving Saigon, helicopters on top of buildings, people on the roof. The hasty evacuation of Afghanistan reminded me of that time. Some Vietnamese interpreters and their families left behind were sent to "re-education" camps, as punishment. Wartime is brutal, during and after. Individual and group heroism does occur, though.
