... In our infantry platoon we had a Vietnamese chu hoi or Kit Carson scout as they were known (one of the VC that came over to our side to help us) that actually saved and alerted us to what could have become some very bad situations. He became a very good friend and kind of my protector while I was there. He told me that he would make sure I would go home to my family, and he did, for which I am eternally grateful.
Just thought of something.
I wonder what happened to your guy after North VN victory. They would not look kindly on these who changed side. If this guy was lucky, they would execute him. If he was unfortunate, he would die in a hard-labor gulag.
