You didn't necessarily have to belong to the Student Left to be reluctant to fight in a war LBJ lied the US into. The company I worked for has a division in Saigon. Several of the programmers game over to the states to work on projects. They didn't have horns and seemed to spend their free time leeching on the company's bandwidth to watch Vietnamese vidoes like the average 20-something programmer. We didn't talk politics but it was a strange feeling that the government wanted me to go kill their parents. It took the CPV about 10 years to realize their Marxist playbook needed some revision. They seem to be doing well these days. It's a long story involving General Vang and the CIA but there is a good sized Hmong community here. They picked the wrong side and were lucky to get out when the US left. They're also doing quite well.
