I was just in Viet Nam and visited the Chu Chi tunnels. You guys had it tough (the Viet Cong too). Glad you made it back.
All that carnage for nothing. Now, I'm in Laos. This country really got the short end of the stick for being, basically, a non-combatant. They were the most heavily bombed country (the Ho Chi Minh trail) in the history of the world and untold tons of unexploded ordinance are still lying around in the jungle.
No Dodge trucks of any kind in Laos. Although I think I saw an early 50's Dodge pickup on display in front of a restaurant in Thailand. I couldn't stop to check it out.
Toyota is king throughout S/E Asia. although, I saw two newer Ford pickups today.
