The Forgotten South Vietnamese Airborne
They were some of the finest soldiers in the war. Fifty years later, no one remembers them."People often ask me about the lessons of the war in Vietnam. Those of us who fought with the Vietnamese Airborne Division are not the ones to ask. All we remember and know is the enduring courage and determination of the Vietnamese Airborne privates pushing forward into battle. They have no monuments except in our memories."

"Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,"
I had sworn no oath
I could and did.
