>>"The types running North Vietnam at the end of the war were the same types running at the end of the war. Long before the war, there were millions of refugees who fled from North to South Vietnam to escape Communist oppression. The simple truth is that Communism was an evil, oppressive system. This isn't a controversial opinion. Its common knowledge that everyone knows. It's why so few actually believe in Communism anymore."<< You know Brumar89, I do agree with you that Communism was a truly oppressive system (evil is another thing though...) but I have always wondered why the NVs were such loyal and dedicated fighters for their world and those from the South were so corrupt and weak for their world? And btw, it is my guess that all Vietnamese are probably better off under their capitalist/communist system in place today than they were under the separate world's of the 60s and 70s.
